No timeframe for implementation of Parliament Code of Conduct

From Midday Report, 12:14 pm on 23 July 2020

The Deputy Speaker of the House, Anne Tolley, says there's no timeframe for the implementation of a Code of Conduct for Parliament.

That's despite recent scandals involving inappropriate behaviour by MPs making headlines over the past few weeks.

Anne Tolley chaired the group which has designed a Code of Conduct, following a review into Parliament as a workplace.

She told Māni Dunlop that the Speaker now has that Code, but the consequences of breaking the rules are yet to be nutted out
