Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on Administration Committee.

Administration Committee

As the question of Osmotherly rules has come up, can we place in Hansard the advice that the Clerk of the House of Commons gave to Lord Hutton that the Osmotherly rules were not agreed between the Government and Parliament? We need to reaffirm that, particularly as coincidentally the rules are to be published tomorrow. There should be no misunderstanding; to these Houses of Parliament, they are not worth the paper that they are written on. They have been handed down like tablets of stone by the Executive. I will certainly not be signing up to them, and judging from the mood the House, I do not think that it will be signing up to them either.
