Season 1 Episode 264 Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description

After a series of awkward stories over gifts and donations, how can Labour reassert its credentials around upholding public standards - and avoid standards issues distracting from its wider agenda for government? 

 

This event will explore how key reforms such as the creation of the long-promised Ethics and Integrity Commission and establishment of the Modernisation Committee will work and what else needs to be done to restore trust in politics.

 

Speakers:


Rt Hon Lucy Powell MP, Leader of the House of Commons


Stephen Bush, Associate Editor and Columnist at the Financial Times


Tim Durrant, Programme Director at the Institute for Government


Duncan Hames, Director of Policy and Programmes at Transparency International UK


Dr Susan Hawley, Executive Director of Spotlight on Corruption


This event was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government.


This event was in partnership with Spotlight on Corruption, Transparency International UK, and the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition.
