Conflicts of Interest Bill

Conflicts of Interest Bill

One of the key recommendations arising from the McGrail Inquiry, the Conflicts of Interest Bill seeks to introduce new standards in public life. The Government says it goes further than the Canadian model, widely regarded as one of the strongest conflicts-of-interest regimes in the Commonwealth. The Opposition says the Gibraltar Bill is toothless and will allow abuse to continue unchecked. Ros Astengo speaks to Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and Opposition Leader Keith Azopardi to determine whether the Bill delivers genuine accountability, transparency and independent oversight, or whether it falls short of the recommendations made by Sir Peter Openshaw. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
