Civil Service

Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyrie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Civil Service.
First, there was full transparency in the role of advisers, and secondly, the decision by the Labour Government to start issuing such details was only squeezed out of them after I and a number of others had pressed them vigorously for several years, and the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, finally agreed to provide some of the basic information being demanded.
