Committee on Standards in Public Life

Put to him that the Prime Minister had decided not to renew Alistair Graham’s tenure, and that because the decision had been taken so late it looked likely that they would be unable to get a replacement in time, and asked if it was the Government’s intention to look at the reform of the whole system and possibly merge it with other bodies, the PMOS replied that no other person in this position had been renewed for a second term. This had been acknowledged by Alistair Graham, and the appointments process would go ahead.

Asked if the Committee would continue to exist, the PMOS replied that he was not aware of any other suggestions. Asked if it would be merged with any other watchdoggery bodies, the PMOS congratulated the journalist on watchdoggery entering the jargon, but he was not aware of any plans.
