Answer

The Cabinet Office, on behalf of the Prime Minister, supports Ministers in identifying and managing conflicts of interest that may arise in relation to their portfolios or other ministerial responsibilities, including ensuring that there is an agreed management plan. The details of how the Cabinet Office provides that support are set out at paragraph 2.61 of the Cabinet Manual.
