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

On the regulation of the House, I accept what the hon. and learned Gentleman has said. However, the whole House needs to think about consistency with clause 15 of the draft Bribery Bill. There is a serious issue to think about. If such a provision is in the draft Bribery Bill and the House's wish is for there to be a bespoke offence, that offence will have to be in this Bill in some form or other.
