Lord Tomlinson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they plan to publish a revised Ministerial Code and Travel by Ministers. [HL579]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The Prime Minister has recently published a revised Ministerial Code and Travel by Ministers.The Ministerial Code and Travel by Ministers 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 the Prime Minister 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.
