Listen "How can Labour reset standards in public life and improve trust in our politics?"
Episode Synopsis
After a series of awkward stories over gifts and donations, how can Labour reassert its credentials around upholding public standards - and avoid standards issues distracting from its wider agenda for government?
This event will explore 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
