Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

I do not take issue with the creation of offences per se, but does the Secretary of State accept that these offences and the processes that stem from them must be compliant with article 6 of the European convention on human rights. Having regard to the terms of the Bill before us, can the right hon. Gentleman honestly say that they are?
