Schedule 1, Paragraph 27:

Section 2, Code of conduct

62.This section provides that the Commission must issue a code of conduct for its Commissioners, which should include a requirement for Commissioners to disclose all relevant interests, including financial information. The code of conduct and the register of interests must be published. The code of conduct should be reviewed regularly, and may from time to time be amended. A failure by a Commissioner to observe the Code will not in itself make a Commissioner liable to criminal or civil proceedings.
