Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 November 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.
Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill
It does indeed; that is one aspect of it. It is also entrenched in the ministerial code, which ensures that Ministers should respect the impartiality of civil servants. I think that that is quite clear, but I suspect that the hon. Gentlemen on the Liberal Democrat Benches might wish to make that point, as they are not fully conversant with the legislation. Question put and agreed to. Clause 3 accordingly ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clause 4 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
