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 give way in a moment. I accept entirely that the hon. Member for Rutland and Melton (Alan Duncan) has set up and run organisations. I know that that is true. He knows very well that it would be impossible to recruit anybody at any level if they were told, "The certainty is not only that you're going to lose your job, but that the firm is going to be wound up within seven months of your coming in."
