Answer
The Ministerial Code sets out the rules and procedures for the exercise of the duties and responsibilities of Ministers. It places clear requirements on Ministers to observe the highest standards of propriety and regularity involving impartiality; ensure that their public positions are not used to promote their private interests; and declare any interests which may conflict with their responsibilities.
I am satisfied that I am fully compliant with the Code. I do not spend ministerial time on party business.
