Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Renewal.

Constitutional Renewal

My Lords, I wholeheartedly agree with the noble Baroness. That is why we are addressing the most important issue that has helped to destroy the trust between public and Parliament—expenses. It is precisely why a Bill shall be introduced shortly on the introduction of a parliamentary standards authority for the House of Commons. The other issues mentioned in the Statement are very much secondary, if I might put it like that. They are issues for debate that will be coming along later. We are addressing the key issue first.
