Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lobbying and Paid Advocacy.


Lobbying and Paid Advocacy

Did Lord Adonis inform the permanent secretary as soon as he had been approached by the right hon. Member for North Tyneside, who was representing the interests of National Express? Is not the real problem that we are relying entirely on a Minister's world that the ministerial code has been complied with? Who enforces the ministerial code? Is it not Ministers themselves and the Prime Minister? Is there not a case for putting the ministerial code for Ministers and former Ministers on to a statutory footing?
