Energy Minister Angus Taylor has confirmed that his predecessor Josh Frydenberg knew about his family interest in a farm that was being investigated for alleged illegal land clearing when he met with officials to discuss environmental regulations.

Mr Taylor said on the ABC's Insiders on Sunday that he had told Mr Frydenberg – then the Turnbull government's environment and energy minister – about his interest in the property before meeting with bureaucrats.

"My obligation is to disclose to the Parliament and to the Prime Minister. And of course, the minister, which was Josh Frydenberg at the time, was also aware," he said.

"So, there was no lack of disclosure and compliance on this."
