Review of The Guide
to the Rules relating to the conduct of Members: Consultation
Document
1. On 25 April 2006, we decided to initiate a revision
of the Guide to the Rules.[1]
This revision is being conducted in the light of the decision
of the House, implementing a recommendation of the Committee on
Standards in Public Life, that both the Code of Conduct and the
Guide should be reviewed once in each Parliament. A new Code was
approved by the House on 13 July 2005.
2. To assist in this process, we are issuing the
attached consultation document. Responses should be sent to the
Clerk of the Committee at the Journal Office, House of Commons,
London SW1A 0AA (or by e-mail to sandp@parliament.uk ) to arrive
by 31 October 2006.
3. Having taken account of the responses, we will
submit a new draft Guide to the House.
