Labour comments on the appointment of one of Boris Johnson's university friends to the committee on standards in public life

"This is more of the same Conservative cronyism. This Prime Minister does not even care to hide it.

"The Government must publish all the correspondence between the Cabinet Office, the panel and Downing Street relating to this appointment.

"If it does not, it will confirm the suspicion that they think there is one rule for them and another for everyone else.

"Labour would clean up politics, starting with a single ethics and integrity commission with the power to oversee and enforce anti-corruption and ethics laws and regulations."
