Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (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

I commend my hon. Friend for the report and for his recommendation on PPSs. I am conscious that I am sitting in front of a distinguished Member of this House who is a PPS. Nevertheless, the report says that, with a few notable exceptions, departmental PPSs"““perform few functions of real value…the Ministerial Code””" should"““be amended to limit PPSs to one for each department.””" My constituents would applaud that, as, I think, would many Members of this House.
