Proceeding contribution from William Cash (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

The right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed (Sir Alan Beith) raised a question earlier about the connection between clause 9 and clause 10 and asked whether clause 10 would impede the body created from taking appropriate action against a Member. The Clerk said no, it would not, and that was reinforced by the Speaker's Counsel, so on what basis does the Justice Secretary take the view that they were wrong?
