Book Description
This report by the Commons Select Committee on Standards and Privileges presents their observations on the recommendations of the Committee on Standards in Public Life (also known as the Wicks Committee) published in November 2002 (Cm. 5663, ISBN 0101566328). It concluded that standards of conduct in the House of Commons were generally high but also made 27 recommendations designed to improve the system of regulation, including the role and appointment of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. The Select Committee on Standards and Privileges state their agreement with the vast majority of these recommendations, and where their opinion differs, alternative suggestions are made.
