Proceeding contribution from Lord Maude of Horsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [Lords].
Public Bodies Bill [Lords]
The guidance has been tightened up considerably. Taxpayers find it quite offensive that a body that is not democratically accountable should use taxpayers' money, in some cases, to hire lobbyists to lobby Government to give it more taxpayers' money. We have taken urgent steps to ensure that that does not recur.
