PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
The Ministerial Code and parliamentary standards (19 June 2023)
Motion Details
That this House believes that trust in the Ministerial Code has been eroded; further believes that the Prime Minister should no longer be the guardian of the Code as this does not provide necessary safeguards; and calls for steps to be taken to make the House of Commons responsible for deciding whether alleged breaches should be investigated and determining whether Ministers have breached the Code.
