Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) 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

I am pleased to have signed this report as a member of the hon. Gentleman's Committee. Does he agree that reducing the number of Ministers and reducing the payroll vote would also improve the operation of our democracy by making Back-Bench Members concentrate more on holding the Government to account and less on lusting after office?
