The entire British government appears to have broken its own ministerial code by failing to declare any conflicts of interest since May.
It is now six months since the UK government last published what is supposed to be its twice-yearly List of Ministers’ Interests, detailing outside interests and dealings for each minister. But Rishi Sunak’s government has been unable even to begin this work, which takes weeks, after failing to appoint the ethics adviser whose job it is to oversee the regime.
It leaves open the possibility that there are scores of undeclared interests held by government ministers.
