Business question from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Has the Leader of the House had a chance to have a look at the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 and the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act 1889? Will he confirm that both those Acts are still on the statute book and have not been superseded by other legislation? If it were shown that a senior Government Minister in the Lords had fallen foul of those pieces of legislation, would the Leader of the House support calls for his dismissal from public office?
