[Warinder Juss (Wolverhampton West) (Lab)]

21. What steps he is taking to help ensure high standards of propriety in public life.

[The Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office (Nick Thomas-Symonds)]

The sleaze of the previous Government eroded trust in politics and the public’s belief in our political system. The Prime Minister’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity in public life is clear. He met the independent adviser on Ministers’ interests on his first day in office. This Government are committed to ensuring high standards, including by establishing an ethics and integrity commission, reforming the business appointment rules and appropriately empowering the independent adviser on Ministers’ interests.
