The Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament (UK)

The Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament (MPs) in the UK sets out the standards of behavior expected from elected officials. It emphasizes integrity, accountability, and transparency in their roles. MPs are required to act in the public interest, avoid conflicts of interest, and be honest about their finances, including any gifts or outside earnings. The Code also outlines the process for investigating breaches and the potential consequences, helping to ensure that MPs maintain public trust and uphold the democratic system. This framework is vital for fostering ethical governance and responsible representation.
