Debate between Sajid Javid and Lord Maude of Horsham

Monday 26th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Maude]

It is a private residence, and the Prime Minister has not in any way broken the ministerial code.

[Sajid Javid (Bromsgrove) (Con)]

Given that the Prime Minister has published a list of all those with whom he has dined in a private capacity, has the Minister received any assurances from the two previous Prime Ministers that they will do the same?

[Mr Maude]

The suggestion has been made, but, strangely, answer has come there none.

Debate between Sajid Javid and Lord Maude of Horsham

Wednesday 7th September 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Maude]

At this stage we are concentrating on simply reducing the footprint of the Government’s property estate, which was allowed to grow massively out of control under the last Government because there were no controls whatever. Rather than looking to relocate, at this stage we are simply looking to reduce what the Government occupy. I know that Croydon, which my hon. Friend represents vigorously, is a very good location out of central London for Government services to operate from.

[Sajid Javid (Bromsgrove) (Con)]

T7. Small and medium-sized enterprises in my constituency warmly welcome the steps that the Government are taking to make it easier for them to win Government contracts, but they also need better access to finance to win such contracts. What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to help with that?
