Trust in top politicians ‘falls’

Public trust in senior politicians has fallen in the last two years, according to a survey carried out for the Committee on Standards in Public Life. The survey suggests 22% of people think government ministers tell the truth - down from 27% in the 2006 survey. Committee chair Sir Christopher Kelly called the results "deeply disturbing".

BMRB Social Research carried out the survey between January and March this year.
