Calls for Ethics Reform as Boris Johnson Breaches Rules for Post-Ministerial Job

Boris Johnson failed to properly disclose his new role as a newspaper columnist.
The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments said Johnson's actions showed the need to overhaul the outdated rules governing ministers' post-government jobs.
The current rules lack clarity and sanctions for violations, and were designed for a different era.
The government will decide whether and how to punish Johnson for breaching the rules.
The head of the ethics committee criticized the system for failing to address new forms of potential corruption.
