Ministers: Conduct
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has issued guidance on whether a Minister can be suspended.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
The Cabinet Office has not issued such guidance.
The Ministerial Code sets out the standards of conduct expected of ministers and how they discharge their duties. As the Code sets out, the Prime Minister is the ultimate judge of the standards of behaviour expected of a minister and the appropriate consequences of a breach of those standards.
