There are two versions of the April to June transparency declarations on the Foreign Office website about gifts during Dominic 'Winker' Raab's time in charge.
In the first version, published April 2021, we find against Mr Raab: 18th June 2020, received a Hermes tie and pocket square, donor not declared, valued at £300, held by department.
In the second version, published March 2022, we find that on 18th June 2020, Mr Raab received a Hermes tie and pocket square, from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, valued "above £140", purchased by the minister.
Always good to get a second opinion on valuations, eh ?
(I was looking to see if Mr Raab had ever accepted hospitality involving fizz and classical music. Web searches only seem to bring up pina coladas on Cretan beaches....)
