Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

May I take the right hon. Gentleman back to the incisive question asked by the right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir George Young)? He dissected the current code of conduct and said that at some point the non-financial aspects of it would probably be hived off to the new body. Some of us were quite happy to hear that clause 6 would disappear from the Bill, but it is actually a great concern because that clause stated that the code of conduct would continue as per the Nolan principles. The deletion of clause 6 will in fact make it easier for all conduct issues to be taken into the new body.
