The Standards Assessment Sub Committee can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a Member. It will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the Members’ Code of Conduct. If you make a complaint to the Standards Assessment Sub Committee it must be about why you think a Member has not followed the Code of Conduct.

Until 8th May, 2008, the Standards Board for England remained responsible for carrying out this function.
