Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government how members of the public will be able to (1) identify the applicable code, (2) make a complaint, (3) obtain independent investigation of a serious or systemic breach, and (4) secure a remedy where an authority’s internal employment or disciplinary procedure is unavailable or inappropriate.

The Public Office (Accountability) Bill requires public authorities to publish a Code of Ethical Conduct that includes information on how people who do not work for the public authority may make a complaint.

The method of investigation and possible outcomes will depend on the circumstances and the public authority concerned.
