How can Labour reset standards in public life and improve trust in our politics?

Institute for Government

With Labour seeking to reassert its credentials around upholding public standards - and avoid standards issues distracting from its wider agenda for government – a significant reset is required. This event explored 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 will be chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government. This event is in partnership with Spotlight on Corruption, Transparency International UK, and the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition.
