Abstract

From the Covid inquiry, to the Royal Mail postmasters and the NHS infected blood scandals, Britain’s fragmented “integrity institutions” have repeatedly shown that they cannot prevent overt corruption and endemic malversation in public office. If a new Labour government is ever to “turn the page” on the the last decade, radical changes in institutional arrangements are needed, argues Patrick Dunleavy. A feasible solution is to establish a powerful Independent Commission Against Corruption and Malversation along Australian lines, with investigative powers and quick, significant sanctions.
