HC Deb 17 March 1995 vol 256 c747W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Prime Minister (1) if he will identify which forms of personal conduct are unacceptable for a Minister; and if he will amend "Questions of Procedures for Ministers" accordingly;

(2) if any Minister who has, or who has had, an extra-marital affair will be expected to resign.

Mr. Newton

I have been asked to reply.

Paragraph 1 of "Questions of Procedure for Ministers" makes it clear that Ministers are expected to conduct themselves in such a way as to protect the integrity of public life. My right hon. Friend has no plans to amend it.
