Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.
Public Accounts
I apologise to the hon. Gentleman and to the House—I would like to take part in this debate but I have to attend a meeting of Members' pension fund trustees shortly. I pay tribute to him and his chairmanship of our Committee. He makes a very important point about the successful operation of Jobcentre Plus. Does he share my frustration at the fact that the good practice that we do see in the PAC—we do not see it very often—is not shared across Whitehall? What can we do to make other Government Departments wake up and say, "Here's a good way of doing something; let's copy it"?
