Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Public Accounts.


Public Accounts

I just wanted to put on the record that since I have been running the Committee, we have tried to stop personal abuse of senior civil servants, which was a feature of the Committee before. I know that these debates are noted in Whitehall, so I wanted to say that while it is important to be robust, we are more polite than we were even five or 10 years ago.
