The former culture secretary Ed Vaizey has written an article on the Arts Professional website providing his view on the UK Museums Association's upcoming proposed updates to their Code of Ethics. In particular, questions regarding the future of commercial sponsorships and partnerships are posed in the face of increasing debate on whether funding sources are 'ethical' or not.

The proposed updates will be debated and voted on at the association's AGM in October.
