Gordon Downey

Sir Gordon Stanley Downey was Britain's first Parliamentary [Commissioner for Standards].
The Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards was set up by the House of Commons in 1995 as a result of recommendations made by the Committee on [Standards in Public Life]. He resigned shortly after Trial by Conspiracy by J Boyd Hunt was published in 1998, casting doubt on his report about Neil Hamilton and the cash-for-questions affair.
Downey was previously chairman of the investors' "watchdog", the Personal Investment Authority.
Downey died on 12 April 2022, at the age of 93.
