Ethics and Integrity Commission Chair faces questions from MPs
The Chair of the Ethics and Integrity Commission (EIC), Doug Chalmers, will appear in front of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) next Tuesday.
The session will focus on the progress of the EIC since it was established last year.
The EIC replaced the Committee on Standards in Public Life (CSPL) as part of the Government’s commitment to strengthen propriety and ethics across Government. MPs are likely to ask about the transition between the two bodies.
