Proceeding contribution from Alan Duncan (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 am grateful to the Secretary of State for his comments. I suppose that I was trying to make a plea for the appointments not to take so long that the authority does not assume responsibilities until early next year, because in the meantime we will have the rag ends of another year's published receipts. If there is an unclear grip on that process because of the transition of the responsibilities from the House to the new authority, that is likely to compound the problem.
