Palmer's vision of an empowered Parliament holding the executive to account has not actually been borne out in reality. There's a lot of different reasons for that and I'm not making a party political point against Labour Party; that goes back a long way. I think that should change. I think Ministers appearing before committees more is a good thing and I think we can do more in relation to that. No Government wants to put Ministers up before committees that much, but, actually, it's in the public interest that they appear more and that we scrutinise more and that Parliament has more power.
