Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Reform.

Constitutional Reform

The virtue of the process that we are starting is that the very issue that she has raised can be part of the discussion in moving forward. I know that there is concern in some areas of the country about both the accountability and the representativeness of the people who sit on boards and committees. During the course of the debate, we can consider whether some of those issues can be addressed. I look forward to debating them.
