Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the annual budget for the Ethics and Integrity Commission will be; how its members will be appointed; and whether it will include political members.

The Government is committed to establishing a new independent Ethics and Integrity Commission, with its own independent Chair, to ensure probity in government and restore trust and confidence. We will ensure that the Ethics and Integrity Commission is set up and resourced in a manner able to deliver this reset in public life.
