Ministerial Travel Code

HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 c467W

Ann Clwyd

To ask the Prime Minister when he plans to publish a revised Ministerial Code on Travel by Ministers. [6189]

The Prime Minister

I have today published a revised "Ministerial Code" and "Travel by Ministers". They provide guidance to Ministers on how they should conduct themselves in carrying out their official duties. The foreword to the Code makes it clear that I will expect all Ministers to operate within the letter and spirit of the Code. The revised Code takes account of recommendations made by the Committee on Standards in Public Life.

Copies of both documents have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
