Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Disqualification from Parliament (Taxation Status) Bill.


Disqualification from Parliament (Taxation Status) Bill

Again, the hon. Gentleman makes a fair point. However, although the Government make some criticisms of the Bill, in a spirit of helpfulness we support its intention. There are good reasons for introducing legislation along such lines. With assurances from my hon. Friend the Member for Pendle that he would be prepared to accept amendments in Committee, I would be happy to endorse the principle behind the Bill.
