Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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
I thank the hon. Lady for giving way. In fact, I was simply going to ask her whether she would support amendment 22 in the Lobby. It lays down the principle that she was talking about, which is that civil servants should not be instructed by special advisers for precisely the reasons that she gave and because it undermines the proper relationship between political appointees and the civil service. If she is of that opinion, I would like to test the opinion of the Committee on that amendment.
