Speaker's Committee on the Search of Offices on the Parliamentary Estate

I am moving on to make one further point. While the police are accountable, too, to police authorities and the Home Secretary, where anyone who is the subject of an investigation is known to the Home Secretary it is imperative that she makes it clear that she is standing right back from the inquiry, and that is what she has done. I hope that all Members will support all those four principles and will support the motion to establish the Speaker's Committee, which will look into all these matters and make recommendations for the future. I commend the motion to the House. [Interruption.]
