Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

As I shall go on to describe, what the previous Government did when they reached the buffers of the current restrictions was simply to create all sorts of fantastical posts that were not described as ““Ministers”” but were, nevertheless, an extension of patronage. We know what the Labour party did when in government and I think we can do better.
