Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on Home Affairs.


Home Affairs

I entirely understand the thrust of the argument that the Leader of the House is developing, but if memory serves me correctly, the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills was appointed on 28 June. There have been no fewer than 27 days since that appointment, during the course of which it would presumably have been possible to establish the willingness or otherwise of the right hon. Member for Leicester, East (Keith Vaz) to serve as the replacement Chair. Why now?
