Ministers will still be allowed to accept gifts and hospitality but must show good judgment.

New code of conduct also gives independent adviser Sir Laurie Magnus the power to launch investigations.

Previously, ministers did not have to give the value of gifts or hospitality.

New rules bring declarations for ministers more in line with those for backbench MPs.
