Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (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

That is a helpful intervention. I have no objection to the new commissioner looking into matters of expenses, which is the subject of most of the controversy, if he really is essential, but, as the right hon. Gentleman said, he will also be looking into other matters. To do that, he will have to look into our debates and reports of what has happened in our Committees, and that will be prevented by the Bill of Rights.
