Certainly had I been lucky enough to have my opinion asked for several months earlier than this, l probably would have told the Prime Minister that, yes, this is the kind of situation you want to keep more than an arm’s length from and in which you want to go to some lengths to do your best to make sure this is handled very cleanly.
This is a good example of the difference in the Conflict of Interest Act. It differentiates between siblings, on the one hand, and family, on the other. Those are relatives. You're going to want to say, “Well, look, you might be able to say that a sibling's participation in WE Charity puts me outside of the requirements of the act, but because of the importance of the situation, I want to go a little above and beyond.” And certainly that's what I would have recommended to the Prime Minister, even if it wasn't risking clear violation of the act.
