Reverse recent changes to the ministerial code

Closed 86 signatures

What the petition asks

Reverse changes to the ministerial code made in May 2022. We believe these changes reduce politicians' accountability to Parliament and the public.
This should be done as the ministerial code is an important safeguard to our democracy and allows us to hold politicians accountable. Ministers should not be able to change the ministerial code to suit their purpose.
