Only a Speaker's conference can restore standards in public life

The Houses of Parliament constitute a royal palace. It is falling down. Since October 2012, Parliament has been debating plans for its extensive restoration. Much work needs to be done to return the edifice to its former glory. Something similar has happened to our constitutional ethical architecture. It has wonderful grandeur in design, but is no longer fit for purpose.
