BREACHES OF THE MINISTERIAL CODE

Early day motion 2478, tabled 24 November 2011 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes that the investigation into the breach of the Ministerial code by the former Secretary of State for Defence was itself a breach of the code which explicitly names the independent adviser as the sole enforcer of the code; regrets that political expediency and the need for a quick fix persuaded the Government to approve an illegitimate, botched and superficial report that disregarded much of the evidence; further notes the additional allegations that have been made since the report's publication; and calls for a new, thorough investigation by the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.
