The commissioner will look into financial issues. He will not look into anything that pertains to the work of parliamentarians. That is the distinction. The Commissioner for Standards in Public Life, on the contrary, looks into the breaches of the code of conduct of Members of Parliament. In this Bill, the commissioner will look at the code in relation to financial interests.
