Scottish Parliament Petitions

Review and update the Scottish Ministerial Code

Petition Under Consideration - 6 Signatures
Open Petition since 9th April 2024

I think the changes set out above would strengthen public standards in Scotland.

Through a statutory code (which Northern Ireland and partly Canada has), a First Minister (FM) would be unable to not have a Code.

Through self-initiated investigations by the IA, a FM could not block such investigations.

A statement in Parliament would enable an explanation as to why a FM has not taken the IAs advice.

The IAs should be able to offer their views on any potential short-comings of the Code itself so to improve it.

The IAs title gives an impression of judicial involvement which is misleading.

Ministers making public oaths would improve public confidence in adhering to it.

I also recommend the following reports which are useful reading:

* [Upholding Standards in Public Life – Published Report] (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/upholding-standards-in-public-life-published-report)
* [Institute for Government | Updating the ministerial code] (https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/report/updating-ministerial-code)
* [UK Governance Project – final report] (https://www.ukgovernanceproject.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Governance-Project-Final-Report-31.1.24.pdf)
