Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (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

This is precisely the sort of amendment that needs measured and leisurely consideration. Although I am sympathetic to it, I am not convinced that it is the right way to achieve the objective of the hon. Member for North Essex (Mr. Jenkin). I shall be interested to hear the Government's response. Having entered that proviso, let me also say what an unusual delight it is to see an amendment of mine carried before its even being reached.
