Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (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
I hesitate to disagree with my hon. and learned Friend, but clause 9 is appalling and unnecessary. Just as there is no such thing as a half-pregnant person, so clause 9 is a bad piece of drafting and it is unnecessary. We should have the courage to say so and make clear our views. I trust that the reasonable approach that my hon. and learned Friend has taken would not allow him to reach a false conclusion.
