Quote:
Boris Johnson changes ministerial code to avoid need to resign over breaches
New rules say ministers can apologise or temporarily lose pay for breaking code, which PM is accused of doing...
...Johnson has also rewritten the foreword to the code, removing all references to honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability.
In his first foreword, published in 2019, he wrote: “There must be no bullying and no harassment; no leaking; no breach of collective responsibility. No misuse of taxpayer money and no actual or perceived conflicts of interest. T
“The precious principles of public life enshrined in this document – integrity, objectivity, accountability, transparency, honesty and leadership in the public interest – must be honoured at all times; as must the political impartiality of our much admired civil service.”
The 2022 foreword simply lists the government’s priorities, with only a brief mention of standards and behaviour of ministers
