Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Publication of a Select Committee Report.
Publication of a Select Committee Report
One suggestion to my hon. Friend's Committee was that Ministers should do less media work, and that the role should be taken over by paid civil servants. Does he agree that such a suggestion should be roundly dismissed? If Ministers are democratically accountable, which they are, they should also be seen to be democratically accountable.
