David Cameron pledges redistribution of power from Westminster
David Cameron pledges redistribution of power from Westminster; Cameron speech SOT
- Need to reform Parliament / Boosting Parliament's power to hold government to account / House of Commons historic function was to vote money for government and scrutinize laws / Today journey of legislation dreamt up on sofa of Number 10 with Bill hastily drafted / Sent to Commons for a few hours debate / Bell rings, whip gets cracked then all these MPs turn up to vote / Bill limps through / Then to Standing Committee - packed full of people the whips have put there / Government rarely loses vote on scrutiny / Back to Commons, debate, bell, vote to wave it through / Programme motion sets out how much time can be spent scrutinizing bill in advance before anyone can see if issue is contentious or complex / Watching minister in Commons drawing out one point to fill the time / This is not accountability / How has mother of all Parliament turned itself into such a pliant child?
