Committee on Standards in Public Life
Featured
As Lord Evans reaches the end of his five-year term as Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, he joined the Institute for Government for his valedictory speech.

Lobbying is an important and legitimate aspect of public life in a liberal democracy - the right of individuals, businesses and interest groups to make representations to government and elected officials is essential.

Lord Evans welcomes the government’s response to CSPL’s 2021 Upholding Standards in Public Life report and recommendations, published today.

The independent Committee on Standards in Public Life has today published ‘Leading in Practice’, a new report which shares examples and case studies gathered from public and private sector organisations on maintaining ethical organisational practices.
