Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.


Public Accounts

Does my hon. Friend agree that there should not be a conflict between career development and successfully safeguarding the interests of the public purse? Major multinationals, such as Shell and BP, are interested in bringing on their people. The top management of such businesses tend to be the lifers—people who have been there for 20 or 30 years. They have experienced a huge spread of the business and successfully delivered a range of different projects, gaining different skills in the broader business.
