The last update to the Special Adviser\u2019s Code of Conduct was in December 2016. This document is kept under regular review. In December of last year, the Minister for the Constitution announced work to review how special advisers\u2019 terms can be made clearer and consistent (19 December 2018 Vol. 651, [HCWS1216]).
