The 2019–24 parliament has been dogged by complaints of low standards of conduct by our politicians. Rishi Sunak has committed to upholding the ideals of ‘integrity, professionalism, and accountability’, while Labour has promised to overhaul how standards are regulated in government and parliament. What are the priorities in this area for a new government to address? Does this require cultural changes, institutional reforms, or both? Which changes or reforms might be most effective?

Speakers:

  • Dominic Grieve KC – Chair of the UK Governance Project, former Attorney General and Conservative MP
  • Peter Riddell – former Commissioner for Public Appointments, Director of the Institute for Government and journalist
  • Tim Durrant – Programme Director, Institute for Government

Chair: Professor Meg Russell FBA – Director of the Constitution Unit
