Logo for Straight Talk - Tony Wright MP, Chairman of the Commons Reform Committee

Andrew Neil interviews Tony Wright MP, a senior Labour backbencher and select committee chairman. Tony Wright talks about his background, his earlier career as a politics lecturer and why he later entered Parliament. He also discusses the public disillusionment with politics in general, the report which his Reform of the House of Commons Committee published last week, whether the number of MPs and Ministers should be cut, how quickly the proposed reforms could be implemented and finally his plans for when he stands down from Parliament at the next election.
