Parliamentary Standards

Parliamentary Standards refer to the ethical guidelines and rules that members of parliament (MPs) must follow to maintain integrity and accountability in their work. This includes proper conduct, transparency in financial dealings, and adherence to established rules and regulations. These standards help ensure that MPs act in the public interest, avoid conflicts of interest, and uphold public trust in the democratic process. In many countries, independent bodies oversee these standards, investigating any breaches and enforcing appropriate consequences to maintain the integrity of the parliamentary system.
