Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) 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 hon. Member for Rutland and Melton (Alan Duncan) makes an important point about the transition of responsibility and clarifying when and how it happens. The Government's reply may deal with the practicalities of whether two months is the appropriate period. I agree with him that the Government should explain how they plan to do this and when, and make it clear, perhaps in another place, exactly what the date should be.
