webtrekker Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Ministers won't be sacked for minor rule breaking, under new guidelines Ministers who break standards rules in a "minor" way will not be expected to resign or face the sack, under new government guidelines. It has long been a convention that MPs should quit government for breaking the Ministerial Code in any way. But in a new section of the code, the PM has been given the option of ordering a lesser sanction instead. Labour has accused Boris Johnson of "watering down" standards in public life. The changes follow a review of the Ministerial Code by advisory body the Committee on Standards in Public Life, which made a series of recommendations for reforms in a report. The contentious reforms come as Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces an inquiry by a committee of MPs into whether he misled Parliament about lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street.

webtrekker Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Mind you, when you consider folk like Cameron who, allegedly, stuck his knob in a dead pigs head, then changing the rules to suit themselves and partying during Covid are just minor distractions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
