Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend. As he knows, I have tabled a couple of amendments, because I am concerned to ensure that parliamentarians have the right of natural justice in how investigations are conducted, and indeed the right of appeal. That is a long-standing right, which ought to be provided for if we are moving responsibility for the matter into the outside world. I have not had the opportunity to discuss the amendments with him, but does he agree that parliamentarians are entitled to the same benefit of natural justice as anybody in the outside world?
