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
The Lord Chancellor should keep in mind the advice of Speaker's Counsel, which was that the law on corruption in this country does not require a person to prove that a corrupt design was carried out, but to show only that it was entered into. Such a demonstration does not require the consideration of proceedings in the House.
