Focus of a House committee (6)

I believe the answer is:

ethics

(Other definitions for ethics that I've seen before include "Codes of business practices" , "Philosophical study of moral values" , "Codes of behaviour for professional people" , "High standards" , "body of principles" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
