Exclusive: Standards system reform would ban ex-ministers from taking lobbying jobs related to former brief for up to five years

Labour would ban ministers from taking lobbying jobs related to their former brief for up to five years, in order to fix the broken standards system and clean up politics".

If the rules were breached, the former ministers would face fines decided by a commission in line with proposals outlined by the committee on standards in public life, which also include the possibility of losing a proportion of their pension or the severance payment that is paid once they leave office.
