Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Hurd and Michael McCann

Wednesday 5th September 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hurd]

We are doing our bit from the centre, but the point I would make to local authorities across the country is that they should recognise the value of the volunteers in their community and not cut the investment in the local infrastructure that supports them.

[Mr Michael McCann (East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow) (Lab)]

8. What plans he has for the (a) ministerial and (b) civil service code of conduct.
