Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 13 December 2006.
Special Advisers: Select Committees
- Question
- My Lords, while it may be perfectly acceptable for political advisers to give evidence to Select Committees, is it in order for them to attack the political integrity of democratically elected Members of Parliament? When they do so, as was reported in the Sunday Times last weekend over the McBride affair, should they not simply be sacked?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I do not make it a practice to comment on articles that have appeared in newspapers, even newspapers as well disposed and with the integrity of the Sunday Times.
