Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.
Political and Constitutional Reform
If one were to cut the number of MPs but keep the same number of Government Ministers, as is laid down in statute, one would have increased the stranglehold of the Government over the House. If the Deputy Prime Minister is to proceed with the cut, will he undertake to cut the number of Ministers, and if so, could he cut it by 22?
