Speeches editing policy

We provide transcripts of many of the Ministers' press conferences, speeches and interviews as soon as we can on our website.

Sometimes it is necessary to edit the transcripts. This is either because, in accordance with long-standing practice under the Ministerial and Civil Service codes, government websites cannot carry party political content, or because the audio quality has made it impossible to transcribe.

• Read the Ministerial Code
• Read the Civil Service Code
