As the Prime Minister has made clear, public service is a privilege and this Government is committed to showing how politics can be a force for good. He will issue his Ministerial Code in due course.

The Code of Conduct and Model Contract for Special Advisers are routinely reviewed to ensure that they remain current, for example by reflecting any changes to Employment Law. Any changes will be published on gov.uk in due course.
