Conservative local government conference

1 March 2008
Chesford Grange, Warwickshire

The case for the Code of Conduct
We ran a session looking at some of the Standards Board's investigations from the last five years. Hazel Salisbury, the Standards Board's Director of Casework, spoke about the need for a mechanism to deal with the minority of councillors who damage public trust in local government. This was followed by a discussion chaired by Councillor Sir Ron Watson, CBE.
