Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill.


International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

I do not want to quibble with the hon. Lady about the matter and my point was not a criticism. I put it to her that although there is a significant body of people who are passionate about the issues, who constantly urge us to do better and who write regularly, they form a small proportion of the electorate as a whole. It concerns me that there are a lot of people out there who are of good will and who want us to do the right thing, but who are not aware of the scale of what we are doing and, by implication, of what we are not doing.
