The Royal Commission on Standards of Conduct in Public Life was appointed in December 1974 under the chairmanship of The Rt. Hon. Lord Salmon. The terms of reference of the Commission were:"To inquire into standards of conduct in central and local government and other public bodies in the United Kingdom in relation to the problems of conflict of interest and the risk of corruption involving favourable treatment from a public body; and to make recommendations as to the further safeguards which may be required to ensure the highest standard of probity in public life."
