Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Lord President of the Council – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 11 Chwefror 1991.
If the hon. Gentleman looks at the party composition of Privy Councillors in the House of Commons and at those appointed in recent years, he will see that over the years, not just recently, there has been, inevitably, a heavy preponderance of appointments from the party in government. The figures for the past 10 or 11 years reflect the fact that, fortunately for this country, we have had a Conservative Government. I hope that that will continue.
