Ethics and Integrity Commission: Public Appointments
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the appointment of the (a) chair and (b) members of the Ethics and Integrity Committee will be (i) a regulated public appointment and (ii) subject to Select Committee pre-appointment scrutiny.
Answered by Georgia Gould
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.
An update on the Ethics and Integrity Commission will be provided in due course.
