Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).


Companies Bill [Lords]

May I have a letter as well? I was brought up a Catholic, so I do not completely understand, but I hope that my right hon. Friend is speaking ex cathedra. If an action is taken, for criminal activity or whatever, would it be against the office or the individual? If it is against the office, the individual has less incentive to abide by the law because he or she can away from it scot-free or resign from it. I do not want to get into debates about the bishopric of Ely this evening, but I would welcome correspondence on the matter.
