Mr. John Connaghan:

We have a code of practice and governance with regard to public bodies. It makes reference to ethics and conflicts of interest, etc., which is a good start. Whether it is entirely fit for purpose for the individual, because it is based at an organisational level, remains to be seen. It is something we need to consider.
