Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Standards Bill.


Parliamentary Standards Bill

It is very simple: if the hon. Gentleman reads the report of the Select Committee on Justice, he will see that everything after clause 8(4) does nothing to add to the regulatory powers of the IPSA, but everything to undermine the independence of this House. By taking out one, the rest fall down like a domino, and that is why it should go.
