Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Renewal.

Constitutional Renewal

My Lords, I agree that the Executive must be controlled by Parliament; that is the duty of Parliament. Forgive me, but while I cannot say how many Ministers there are—although I shall certainly come back to the noble Lord—it is interesting to think about the number of Ministers in both Houses and to reflect whether there should be so many. That should be thrown into the argument. The noble Lord raised one other thing to which I wanted to respond, but I cannot quite recall what it was. Could he tell me?
