💨 Abstract

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled a new code of conduct for ministers to enhance transparency, following a controversy over lawmakers accepting gifts. The code requires monthly declarations of hospitality and gifts, aligning with the rules for other lawmakers, and grants more power to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards. Starmer previously pledged to improve principles on accepting donations, having repaid gifts including Taylor Swift concert tickets.
