Ask David Cameron if he believes he upholds the 7 Principles of Public Office.
Publicly ask David Cameron, on behalf of the public, if he believes he upholds the Government's own Seven Principles of Public Office.
Why is this important?
By the Government's own definition (31st May 1995, Committee on Standards in Public Life) the 7 Principles of Public Office are "the basis of the ethical standards expected of public office holders".
By this we take to mean that all politicians in Her Majesty's Government are expected to abide by the ethical standards set out in this document; and are therefore accountable both to the public and to the members of parliament if they can be seen to have failed in doing so.
In the light of large bodies of evidence which can be presented to highlight the fact that the Prime Minister has failed to uphold the 7 Principles of Public Office, I would like the the Leader of the Opposition to personally raise the issue with him, in parliament, in order to hear his response.

How it will be delivered
I would like to deliver them in person, should the opportunity arise; but otherwise I would be happy to send them digitally if it were easier that way for Mr. Corbyn, given his no doubt already very hectic schedule.
I would hope Mr. Corbyn would raise the question during Prime Minister's Questions, or at another convenient moment in the House of Commons.
