Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

There has been an absolute tsunami of transparency. My right honourable friend Francis Maude has been frightening the life out of Whitehall and his ministerial colleagues by the way he has been forcing through transparency and the transparency agenda. It really is no good the noble Lord, Lord Wills, rewriting the history of the past 18 months. In fact, this has been a period of real progress in transparency in government. He should have the decency to acknowledge it.
