Labour Together: Special Advisers
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will set out the meetings his Department's special advisers have had with Labour Together since he was appointed.
- Answer
-
Special Advisers are required to comply with the Special Adviser Code of Conduct at all times and are required to make declarations on meetings with senior media figures in line with published transparency guidance.
Where a Special Adviser accompanies their Minister to an official meeting with a senior media figure, the Special Adviser's attendance does not need to be separately recorded as the Minister will be the main attendee. Where an 'informal' lobbying approach is granted time or resource by Government, it should result in a diarised engagement and therefore be recorded.
