Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.


Parliamentary Standards Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord is very critical of the Government, with which I agree 100,000 per cent, if my mathematics is not a bit ropey, but the same criticism applies to our own Front Bench for allowing this through on the nod. We should not have done that. We should have stopped it in the Commons and said no.
