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

Parliamentary Standards Bill

My hon. Friend is right to identify clause 10 as extremely controversial. A lot has been said tonight about its undesirability, and one of the ironies is that if it were to go, the entire architecture of the Bill's regulatory structure—the punitive aspects—would go with it. My hon. Friend may agree that that encapsulates the lack of proper thought given to that aspect of the Bill.
