Public Sector Exit Payments (Limitation) Bill

Debate between Laura Trott and Christopher Chope

Friday 13th March 2020 Commons Chamber

[Sir Christopher Chope]

I am not sure that my hon. Friend would have put it quite that way. The House needs to have a mood of intolerance of serial incompetence, if not a conspiracy of silence and inaction among people in the civil service.

[Laura Trott (Sevenoaks) (Con)]

Will my hon. Friend give way?

[Sir Christopher Chope]

No. I am going to bring my remarks to a close in the hope that we will be able to hear something from my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury before we reach 2.30 pm.
