Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) 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]
I agree with the hon. Gentleman, but the worst culprit for packing quangos was the previous Conservative Government. If he cares to do his homework, he will find that one quango we invented, with which I have had a few run-ins, is the independent Appointments Commission. It took out of politicians' hands altogether the appointment of people to quango boards.
