There’s no realistic way of enforcing these sorts of rules if the public lose trust and confidence in the Government’s messaging. (2/4)
Our parliamentary system delivers good government by ensuring Ministers have to explain policy, share the evidence which supports it and secure the agreement of Parliament. Good Ministers should not fear Parliament. (3/4)
Only weak Ministers without a command of the detail who bluff their way through on a wing and a prayer should be scared or irritated by the prospect of answering questions at the Despatch Box. (4/4)
