This is a live online event. Please do not travel to the Institute.

The Institute for Government is pleased to welcome the Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow First Secretary of State, to deliver a keynote speech setting out how Labour would reform the systems that govern standards in public life. She will then be in conversation with Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government.

The row over Owen Paterson’s paid lobbying and the wider debate it has stimulated about MPs’ second jobs have again brought into the spotlight the systems designed to uphold ethical standards in public life. As well as the codes and institutions governing MPs, the rules about how ministers should behave and the processes that uphold these standards have been called into question.

In her speech at the IfG, Angela Rayner will set out how Labour would redesign those rules, strengthen existing standards bodies and put new institutions in place to uphold standards in public life.

This event will be available to watch live online to anyone who would like to register. Angela Rayner will be taking questions.

Angela Rayner has been the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne since 2015. She holds a number of roles including: Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, Shadow Secretary of State for the Future of Work; Shadow Deputy Prime Minister; Shadow First Secretary of State and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
