HM Government Ministers
A current list of ministers can be found on the ministers page.
Ministerial Code
The Ministerial Code sets out the standards of conduct expected of聽ministers and how they discharge their duties. The Code is the responsibility of the Prime Minister.
Ministers鈥� Interests
It is a key principle of the Ministerial Code that 鈥淢inisters must ensure that no conflict arises, or appears to arise, between their public duties and their private interests鈥�. Ministers take personal responsibility for deciding whether and what action is needed to avoid a conflict or the perception of a conflict. They are supported in such decisions by advice from their permanent secretaries and the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.
The List of Ministers鈥� Interests provides details of ministers鈥� personal interests that are judged relevant to ministers鈥� roles and responsibilities by the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards. The list is not a register of interests and does not therefore include every interest that a minister has declared in relation to themselves and their family members. The list should be read alongside the parliamentary registers of interests, in which all ministers maintain entries ( and the 鈥� Interests) and any relevant information published by the Electoral Commission.
More information about the process by which ministers manage their interests is set out in the List of Ministers鈥� Interests and also the annual reports of the Independent聽Adviser on Ministerial Standards.

罢丑别听List of Ministerial Responsibilities and the List of Non-Ministerial Departments and Executive Agencies聽provides details of ministers鈥� portfolios and of the responsible minister for non-ministerial departments and executive agencies.
