The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent progress his Department has made on establishing an ethics and integrity commission.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

We are restoring confidence in government and the highest standards in public life and have already taken steps to improve probity and transparency, including through issuing a new Ministerial Code which highlights the importance of the principles of public life, by strengthening the terms of reference for the Independent Adviser, and by introducing a new monthly Register of Gifts and Hospitality.
