Pat McFadden, the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, stated, 'We will make clear going forward in the ministerial code that both ministers and shadow ministers should be under the same declaration rules.' This statement indicates a major shift in how transparency of interests is maintained in government, aiming to create equal standards between ministers and MPs.
McFadden further explained, 'That was the Tory rules, we don't think that's fair, so we will close that loophole so ministers and shadow ministers are treated the same going forward.' This highlights the long-overdue reform aimed at ensuring accountability within government systems.
