Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Cox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon (Local Government).


Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon (Local Government)

Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that it is wrong, in the light of the remarks that he has just made, for a member of the Cabinet to accuse senior civil servants of bias, leaking information and seriously mishandling the situation for years? Does he not agree that Ministers should take responsibility for their Departments' decisions, not pillory civil servants for their Departments' mistakes?
