Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

The right hon. Gentleman is now at least conceding that the Bill will affect parliamentary rights and privilege. Will he therefore correct, in her absence, the statement of the Leader of the House last Thursday? Referring to the Bill, she said that""the question of parliamentary privilege is not an issue in that Bill, so that is not a question that hon. Members need to concern themselves with."—[Official Report, 25 June 2009; Vol. 494, c. 950.]" Will he take the opportunity to correct that statement, which was clearly wrong? This is a constitutional Bill, and it is outrageous that it is being treated like an emergency Bill.
