Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on Speaker's Committee on the Search of Offices on the Parliamentary Estate.
Speaker's Committee on the Search of Offices on the Parliamentary Estate
Could the Leader of the House confirm that when the motion states that"““the committee must not in any way prejudice any police inquiry or potential criminal proceedings””," it is simply a question of embarrassment, rather than of contempt of court? As she will know, contempt of court does not apply until someone is charged before magistrates or summonsed before the Crown court.
