No lines of accountabilty altered

The Government hasn't altered any of the lines of accountability between Parliament and the Executive.

In his speech the Prime Minister noted:

"There is now, again, a debate about why Parliament is not considered more important and as ever, the Government is held to blame. But we haven’t altered any of the lines of accountability between Parliament and the Executive. What has changed is the way Parliament is reported or rather not reported."
