So here is the January 2018 updated ministerial code: “Ministers who knowingly mislead Parliament will be expected to offer their resignation to the Prime Minister”...
So Rudd’s tweets deal with what Opposition argue is a ministerial code breach - she says she did not knowingly mislead. Ie “I didn’t see the leaked document”
Also, might be argued that she respected the 1c “correcting any inadvertent error at the earliest opportunity” in the Commons on Thursday morning, correcting the erroneous info from Wednesdays Committee
That’s assuming that Thursdays testimony here was accurate: “I have never agreed that there should be specific removals targets”... and “I was never aware of them”.
One side issue: both the guardian leak and the independent inspector report suggest a national target of 12k, not just a series of regional targets...
difficult bit of the leaked memo from June 2017 is: “10% increased performance on enforced returns, which we promised the home secretary earlier this year” in relation to 12k target - for which resource was reallocated, a decision made and promise to HS some time in 2017...
...though it also says Immigration Enforcement “set the target”... so the defence here might be that HS demands a 10% increase in performance. But only IE knows internally it assesses that performance with a numerical target. ???
