This Bill would create statutory codes of conduct for four groups: Ministers of the Crown, Members of Parliament, Members of the House of Lords, and councillors in England. It aims to set clear, legally binding rules about how these public office holders should behave and handle conflicts of interest. The detail and the way such codes would be enforced are not yet set out in the information available here.
The Bill is at its first reading in the Commons. Public documents in this dataset only show a 2023 letter relating to ministerial standards and the Ministerial Code; no further stages, amendments, or committee reports are recorded here.
