Proceeding contribution from James Plaskitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

It is distant, but that does not mean, as the hon. Gentleman previously inferred, that Ministers have shirked responsibility. Yes, a greater distance is involved and the commissioners running the NDPB have greater autonomy than senior officials running an agency, but the ultimate link of accountability, which is established by the legislation, is not broken.
