multiple times and he is an example of course of excellence in service in public life and i thank all members of this house for their work in regards to this matter but i think all the members of this house will recognise that lord geidt has demonstrated diligence and thoughtfulness in the way he has discharged his role over the course of the past year. we have benefited hugely from this service. the prime minister will issue a letter, mr speaker, in relation to the announcement from lord geidt, both the letter from lord announcement from lord geidt, both the letterfrom lord geidt and announcement from lord geidt, both the letter from lord geidt and the reply from the prime minister will be deposited in the house shortly. as soon as i have those letters, or my office has them, mr speaker, they will be placed in the library. the government is particularly disappointed, of course, that lord geidt has taken this decision, as
strengthening of its role, its office and its remit. since that post was created in 2006. the labour mp fleur anderson was allowed to ask an urgent question about lord geidt s resignation. clearly the new arrangements for the independent adviser are not workable and that s why he has had to resign. mr speaker, to lose one ethics adviser is really an embarrassment but to lose two in two years, just days after the prime minister s own anti corruption tsar walked out on him, it s becoming a bit of a pattern, mr speaker. it is a pattern of degrading the principles of our democracy. the prime minister has driven out both of his hand picked ethics advisers to resign in despair in two years, it s a badge of shame for this government. in an unprecedented move the cabinet office had failed to publish lord geidt s resignation letter and it has taken a certain question to get it.
will need the consent of the prime minister of the day to start an investigation but as i made very clear last week, this consent would normally be given. and the ministerial code now includes new detail on proportionate sanctions for a breach of the code. previously there was no proportionality in those sanctions and even the smallest of technical breaches to a minister in place might have resulted in enforced resignation. now there is a proportionate range of options and that, by the way, was exactly as recommended by the committee on standards in public life. in future, the independent adviser will be consulted about revisions to the code as recommended ljy revisions to the code as recommended by the committee on standards in public life, the ministerial code now include specific references to the role of the independent adviser on more specific references to the duty on ministers to provide the adviser with all information
