To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its plans to publish a new Scottish Ministerial Code before the end of 2024. I have today published a new, strengthened Scottish Ministerial Code which sets the very highest standards of propriety and integrity.The changes I have introduced mark the most fundamental developments to the Code since the introduction of Independent Advisers in 2008.The Code has been restructured into three distinct sections: Ministers' Standards of Conduct; Ministers' Interests; and Ministers and the Procedures of Government.
