Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2023. It occurred during Debate on bill on Procurement Bill [Lords].
Procurement Bill [Lords]
The Minister says that he is here to talk about a modern procurement system for the UK, but The Guardian is saying today that a Conservative peer who advised the Government during the pandemic helped a company to secure a £50-million contract after being introduced to the firm by another peer with financial interests in that company. Can the Minister tell us exactly which clause in the Bill he is putting forward today would have prevented that extreme example of cronyism from happening?
