Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on Standards and Privileges.


Standards and Privileges

This is not on the pension position, but is it not the case that reform usually comes only because of a scandal? My hon. Friend might remember cash for questions, the story in The Sunday Times and so on, when change came accordingly as a result of exposure. It is likewise in the current case. As he says, we always seem to drag our feet on the necessity to be transparent.
