Parliament has come ‘quite some way’ on behaviour, says Lucy Powell

Ms Powell said: “We were elected on a mandate of change, part of what was in our manifesto was a recognition that we needed to restore Government to a politics of service and for me as Leader of the House, and shadow leader of the house before the election, that also meant looking at how we do our politics and making sure that it’s fit for the democratic challenges of the future (…), making sure that when the public look in on the Commons and on Parliament that we are behaving and operating in a way that they would expect.”
