Prime Minister written question – answered at on 12 July 2022.
To ask the Prime Minister, if he plans to hold a gathering at Chequers to mark his 2021 wedding.
I have been asked to reply.
As I outlined in my answer of 18 October 2021 to PQ 54006, Chequers is not a government building; it is run and managed by an independent trust. As has been the practice under successive Premiers, the incumbent Prime Minister uses Chequers consistent with the wishes of the donor, the late Sir Arthur Lee, who gave it to the nation for the use of the serving Prime Minister, for both official and private use. This is set out in the Chequers Estates Act 1917.
Notwithstanding the above, it is in the public domain that the Prime Minister does not intend to make use of Chequers in such a way.
