Ministerial Code

The Ministerial Code is a set of guidelines that British government ministers follow to ensure they act with integrity, transparency, and accountability. It outlines standards for honesty, avoiding conflicts of interest, and proper conduct while in office. The code promotes public trust by encouraging ministers to be open about their decisions and to uphold high ethical standards. While it isn’t a legal document, breaches can lead to investigations and disciplinary actions, reinforcing the importance of responsible behavior in government.
