Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.
Public Accounts
In that particular case, was not the problem that the department did not get the fees agreed with barristers in advance? Rather, it waited until afterwards, without any idea of what the bill was going to be. So although I agree with the hon. Gentleman that barristers made a lot of money out of that, at the heart of the report is the view that the department was at fault.
