Experts Voice Fears as Ethics and Integrity Commission Goes Live
Anti-corruption experts have warned that reforms underpinning the creation of the new Ethics and Integrity Commission (EIC) do not guarantee the watchdog's effectiveness.
The EIC, chaired by Doug Chalmers, has taken on the previous remit of the Committee on Standards in Public Life and additional roles.
- The move is part of a wider shakeup of the standards system.
- The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments has been abolished.
- Changes have been made to the ministerial code.
Reforms do not go far enough to guarantee the watchdog's effectiveness.
The establishment of the EIC was a Labour Party manifesto pledge in the last general election.
