Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) 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 shall go through the various points that have been raised. I can first tell my hon. Friend the Member for Middlesbrough (Sir Stuart Bell) that we will accept amendment 1, which removes subsections (5) and (6) from clause 13. There was never the least intention to make the Bill retrospective, but as anxiety about that has been expressed, I am happy to clarify the point.
