Further information: Complaints about the Conduct of Councillors’

The Standards Committee is made up of a group of people appointed by Milton Keynes City Council to help maintain and promote high ethical standards. Standards Committees are made up of a mixture of Councillors, members of Parish Councils and must take into account the views of an Independent Person (who cannot be Councillors or employees of the Council or authority) when making their decision.
