Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.
Greater London Authority Bill
The right hon. Gentleman is about to reveal his reservations about the Bill. May I help him on his way? Does he share my concern about staffing powers? Let us suppose that the Mayor wished to appoint a legion of Venezuelan pigeon advisers to his team. The only check on that would be the head of paid service, who is appointed by the Mayor. Is there not a danger that the check and balance that exists while the assembly retains staffing powers will be removed?
