INSIDE ISSUES
Gone but not forgotten: Third Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi (left), and first female British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher (right)
the best government for the interests of the people. A scandal involving parliamentary
privilege and MPs from the United Kingdom in 2009 brought a subject, though ancient in origin, back to the forefront. After the Members in question used parliamentary privilege
to protect them from prosecution, a Green Paper was published on the subject, and a Joint Committee was set up to scrutinize the findings. A Member of the House of Lords, and former Whip in Margaret Thatcher’s Government, Lord Brabazon of Tara, chaired the Committee and
relays the findings of the report in his article.
The final contribution comes
from another Lord from the U.K., Lord David Chidgey, writing on the issue of public health in Malawi. He reports how money granted from international aid and development is
helping to improve the lives of many Malawians, particularly relating to the treatment of HIV and Tuberculosis. Lord Chidgey also stresses on the importance of maintaining and strengthening the United Kingdom’s ties with Malawi for ongoing development.
