Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab) [V]
My Lords, yesterday former Conservative Attorney-General Dominic Grieve described the Johnson Government as presiding over
“the disappearance of any standards of conduct at the heart of government”,
and said that the cronyism of administrative decisions had communicated to young people in particular a sense of government as corrupt. Given that, can the Minister be surprised that there was concern over the conduct of Mr Pascoe-Watson after he had ceased to be an adviser?
Lord Bethell (Con)
I always take the words and advice of former Attorney-General Dominic Grieve extremely seriously, and I value his opinion greatly.
