Ministerial Code is ‘bust’ and not fit for purpose, says Chris Bryant

After the resignation of Deputy PM Dominic Raab, an urgent question was asked relating to the Ministerial Code.

Labour MP Chris Bryant said it was time for a new system and that the current code and process was no longer fit for purpose. He said it was ‘bust’ and needed serious rethinking, but Minister Alex Burghart disagreed and assured Bryant that the code was fully functioning.
