Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2025

Debate

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

Contribution

To reassure my hon. Friend, the House, the families and all others affected by such scandals, these are clauses in a Bill that will soon be sections in a piece of legislation, but they are more than that: they change the nature of the relationship between the state and its duties to its people. That is so important. Yes, this Bill is the legal architecture, but something much bigger than this has to be put in place.
