Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (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, we have tabled a two-year sunset clause to the Bill. My noble friends have heard the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Norton, and will make up their own minds about what to do, having also heard the noble Baroness’s speech. The noble Baroness also knows that a number of Members have urged her, through the usual channels, to find more days between now and 21 July to deal with this Bill. I cannot predict what the noble Baroness’s reaction will be; but from my part, the Front Bench of the Opposition will abide by the decisions of the usual channels.
