Lord Peston

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made in implementing the new ethical framework for local government established under the Local Government Act 2000. [HL644]

Lord Whitty

We have today appointed Tony Holland as the Chair of the new independent Standards Board for England.

We will tomorrow publish a consultation paper on the model code of conduct for members and a response to last year's consultation exercise on the general principles of conduct.

Copies of both documents will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
