Keir Starmer has quietly published his new Ministerial Code, setting out the standards required of Government ministers for their conduct and behaviour.
Any rule-changes have a significant bearing on what happens in the wake of a political scandal (and hopefully prevent some too), so it matters.

When I was a UK civil servant we had a strict code of conduct (I'm sure it is still in force).
Why should Ministers (and MPs) not have the same?
This will be interesting in the current climate.
What happens if an MP doesn’t adhere to the Nolan Principles etc?
Have you read it?
