It’s been a few days now since we asked CoffeeHousers to put forward their questions for Francis Maude. We’ve since picked out the best five, which have now been put to the Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office. He’ll get back to us at the start of next week.
Here are the questions:
David Lindsay
Why did you sign the Maastricht Treaty?
Gawain
As Coffee House has highlighted, Brown is winning the propoganda war with a stream of dodgy statistics, particularly his debt figures and dubious economics. He is getting away with blue murder (pun intended). Is there anything the opposition can do to use Parliament to expose this and to hold the ONS and Brown to account? If Parliament is no protection for the taxpayer and cannot uphold honesty in public life what is the point of it?
