Established under the Local Government Act 2000, it was responsible for promoting high ethical standards in local government. It oversaw the nationally imposed Code of Conduct (also now abandoned), which covered elected and co-opted members across a range of local authorities.

Standards committees (no longer compulsory since 2012) could suspend members for up to six months. The Adjudication Panel coul ...
