What can the UK learn from how other governments uphold standards?
The UK government has faced criticism over its approach to standards, but it is not the only government around the world \u2013 or even within the UK \u2013 grappling with these questions.\n\nWith other governments taking different approaches to setting and upholding rules for standards in public life, this panel discussion will explore what the UK can learn about upholding standards from governments across the world, what role parliaments play in this process and whether standards need a stronger legislative basis.\n\nWe were joined by:\n\nMario Dion, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner of the Canadian Parliament\nDuncan Hames, Director of Policy Transparency International UK\nDr Melissa McCullough, Commissioner for Standards at the Northern Ireland assembly\nThis event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.\n\n#IfGstandards
