Enshrine the Ministerial Code in Law ensuring updates are agreed in Parliament.
On 27 May 2022 changes were made to the Ministerial Code removing the requirement for ministers who break standards rules in a "minor" way to resign.
We believe that any future updates to the Ministerial Code should be debated in Parliament. Additionally, any changes should not be retrospective.
It has long been a convention that MPs should resign from government for breaking the Ministerial Code in any way. However in a new section of the code, the PM has been given the option of ordering a lesser sanction instead. This change has been made while the PM is under investigation for potentially breaching the code.
