Listen "No, Minister"
Episode Synopsis
Liars, cheats and charlatans - we don’t have a generally rosy view of our politicians. So how much should we expect from the people we choose to govern us? Should government ministers have to come up to higher standards than we expect of ourselves? Is the Ministerial Code of Conduct - drawn up and run by the prime minister - the best way to make sure of ethics and honesty at the heart of government? Dr Catherine Haddon of the Institute for Government leads Phil and Roger through the minefield of regulating the behaviour of those we elect.This episode is supported by Wigmore Associates, who provide portfolio management services on both a discretionary and advisory basis, together with pension, tax planning and inheritance tax advice to Individuals, Trusts, Pension Schemes, Family Offices, and Charities. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
