Calls to urgently implement a sleaze watchdog’s recommendations in a bid to improve standards at Westminster have been supported by MPs.
Labour sought to keep the pressure on Boris Johnson after the partygate scandal and confidence vote by tabling a House of Commons motion on standards in public life.
This asked MPs to endorse recommendations from the Committee on Standards in Public Life, which included giving the Prime Minister’s ethics adviser Lord Geidt the power to “initiate investigations into breaches of the ministerial code”.
