Ministry of Defence: Standards

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 5 December 2023 to Question 3722 on Ministry of Defence: Standards, if he will publish the recommendations of the deep dive into Gifts, Rewards and Hospitality and Business Appointments policies; and when does he expect those recommendations to be fully implemented.

Answer

The deep dives into standards policies have been commissioned by the Department’s Fraud, Ethics and Propriety Board. We would not normally publish the detail of internal reviews, but in broad terms the issues identified were around simplification of policies, consistent application across the Department, and aligning business appointments policies with the reforms set out in the Strengthening Ethics and Integrity in Central Government report of July 2023.
