Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.
Public Accounts
It would be great in an ideal world, but it might be rather career-limiting for a civil servant to stand up to his political master in the way that the hon. Gentleman describes. That was one of the problems with Johnson McNeil. We were surprised to hear that a man who had been charged with running such a huge project had apparently never seen the Secretary of State, or had seen her on only one or two occasions. That was rather worrying.
