What recent progress has been made on implementing the humble Address of 4 February 2026.
As I have outlined previously, work is ongoing across Departments to identify the material relevant to the Humble Address. Throughout this process, the Government have recognised the urgency and seriousness of fully complying with that Humble Address, and that is why we will publish relevant materials in tranches, the first of which we have committed to publishing in early March.

Context
The questioner asks about the process of appointing the head of the Government's propriety and ethics team, suggesting it may have been done without an external recruitment process or written ministerial sign-off, potentially in breach of rules.
Can the Minister confirm whether the head of the Government's propriety and ethics team was appointed without an external recruitment process or written ministerial sign-off, in an apparent breach of its own rules? If so, is this further proof of a lack of transparency and accountability, and of a failure to uphold the propriety and ethics at the heart of this Government?
No, and no.
