The Government now has the opportunity to set out a new framework for strengthening standards in public life- by early executive actions, reinforced by later legislation, as in my new blog for @ConUnit_UCL - @CommonsPACAC @PublicStandards @EndCorruptionUK @instituteforgov

Seems a good idea from @EndCorruptionUK that is simple to implement.
How about it @UKLabour ?

what happened to the 2023 @MoJGovUK consultation on open justice? no sign of a report as yet, but an update from Government via a PQ. TL;DR: considering next steps courtobservers.org/2024/11/0…

Proud to host the launch of @EndCorruptionUK’s/@jboltonjones report on economic crime enforcement funding. UK agencies recover millions every year yet remain underfunded. Reinvesting fines would boost capacity w/out costing taxpayer.

Ministerial Code updated to get stronger on conflicts of interest and unethical practices. #GoodGovernance #PublicServices #StandardsInPublicLife #UKGovernment
The PM’s new ministerial code unveiled today includes some new and welcome commitments but this is very much a first step in what needs to be an ambitious upgrade of the UK’s standards framework.
Here’s Spotlight’s highlights and lowlights:

Spotlight @EndCorruptionUK is right that publication of the revised Ministerial Code is- while welcome - just a first step towards strengthening the broader framework of standards in public life as argued by me for @ConUnit_UCL and by @CommonsPACAC and @PublicStandards

If you're a political integrity nerd & want a distraction today, here are new changes to the Ministerial Code of Conduct. Some positive steps to bring more transparency and accountability!

👍 The new Ministerial code has been fundamentally restructured with ethical guidelines front and centre.
Most importantly, the new govt must ensure that its upgrades to standards are enshrined in legislation that leaves a lasting legacy for future governments to follow. This must include putting standards regulators on a statutory footing & ensuring they are resourced to do the job.
We marked the last government’s homework on these issues with our Integrity Deferred and Integrity Lite reports and will do the same for this one.
👀 Keep your eyes peeled for an update.
