Mr Speaker, to make plain what the question specifically referred to, it referred to the Statement of Ministerial Standards, which itself includes the statement:

All parliamentarians are required to disclose private interests to the parliament. Given the additional powers of Ministers and Assistant Ministers, I expect them—

these are the words of the Prime Minister—

to provide me with additional information about their private interests to ensure there are no conflicts with their roles as ministers.
