Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (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

I must be wary of anticipating how the House of Commons itself will deal with this matter. The key question is whether we have the architecture right. Clearly it is for the Commons itself to decide how it would be asked to give its approval, but my understanding is that in circumstances where the Speaker is required to lay the scheme, the Leader of the House of Commons would in fact speak to it.
