Ministerial Statements and the Ministerial Code

Inquiry

This inquiry will consider whether the Ministerial Code adequately sets out what the House should expect of Ministers making the most important announcements of government policy.

We will ask whether those requirements are observed with sufficient rigour by Ministers. Additionally, we will consider the appropriate balance in deciding between a written or oral statement.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.
