Does the UK Have a Corruption Problem?
Recent events such as the phone hacking controversy, MPs expenses scandal and the spot fixing charges in county cricket have highlighted the fact that the UK is not immune to corruption.
Transparency International UK (TI-UK) recently published a report which examined the levels of corruption in 23 UK sectors and institutions.
TI-UK is hosting four events in Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and Middlesbrough to present the findings of the report, and discuss whether corruption really is a problem, and if so, what can be done to tackle it. Each event will consist of a drinks or breakfast reception, followed by a presentation of the findings and a Q&A session.
Cardiff – March 12
Middlesbrough – April 18
Edinburgh – May 2
Manchester – May 15

Corruption in the UK report
The 3-volume report – the most extensive study into UK corruption ever undertaken - examines 23 sectors and concludes that key institutions are refusing to confront the problem. Of particular concern are prisons, political parties, parliament and sport where the response to the increasing corruption risk is often incoherent and uncoordinated.
