Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.

Public Accounts

The Minister is praising transparency at UKFI, so will she tell the House why Ministers continually refuse to answer parliamentary questions about the Government’s substantial bank holdings, saying that the service is managed at arm’s length from the Government and, therefore, the details cannot be made available to Parliament? Surely, if the Minister believes in full transparency, there should be full answers to hon. Members’ questions.
