Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) 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, I do not think that that remark is worthy of a reply. I shall turn to the noble Lord, Lord Higgins. Of course, he is absolutely right when he says that Members of the other place do not understand your Lordships and your Lordships’ House. It is incumbent on us all to try to ensure that there is more knowledge about this place in the other place. I hear what the noble Lord and so many others have said about the desirability for more time to scrutinise the Bill. I shall return to that shortly.
