Proceeding contribution from Lord Borrie (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

The noble Lord, Lord Cope of Berkeley, referred to the funding paragraph in the schedule, paragraph 22, and criticised sub-paragraph (4), which states: ""If it is not satisfied, the Committee must make such modifications as it considers necessary to achieve consistency"." He asked, "Consistent with what?" I read it as being the previous sub-paragraph, which states: ""The Committee must review the estimate and decide whether it is satisfied that the estimate is consistent with the efficient and cost-effective discharge by the IPSA of its functions"."
