Mr. St. Aubyn
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what measures the Government are taking to raise ethical standards in local government; and if he will make a statement. [78843]
Ms Armstrong
On 24 March my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister published a consultation paper, "Local Leadership Local Choice", copies of which were placed in the Vote Office and the House Library. The paper sets out the Government's proposals and draft legislation for new forms of local governance and a new ethical framework for local government.
