Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

Business of the House

I did no more than point out that the outrage expressed by the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May) was feigned, given that the practice was outlawed by the previous Government. I assured the House that this Government would ensure that Parliamentary Private Secretaries would not sit on Committees covering the Departments to which they are responsible. However, I remind the hon. Gentleman that they are not members of the Government.
