Proceeding contribution from Yasmin Qureshi (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 July 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Office (Accountability) Bill.

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

You are probably aware, Madam Deputy Speaker, of the fact that I have chaired the all-party parliamentary group on Primodos for the last 14 years. The Minister may well be aware that earlier in the Bill’s consideration I asked for reassurance that independent panels established by Ministers would be covered, such as the expert working group report on Primodos, which was set up by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency as part of the Department of Health and Social Care. Can the Minister point to where that can be found in the Bill and, if not, will reassurances be given through secondary legislation that those panels are covered by this legislation?
