Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Insurance Contributions Bill.
National Insurance Contributions Bill
My hon. Friend has just pointed out that the measure was originally promulgated through a ministerial written statement. Does he share my extreme unease that written ministerial statements are an ever more common way of promulgating Government policy because they cannot be questioned? Ministers know that instead of coming to the House, making a proper statement and subjecting themselves to questioning by Members of Parliament the written statement cannot be subject to questioning.
