Proceeding contribution from Lord Jenkin of Roding (Conservative) 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

It is my recollection that the original draft of the Bill said that the report would be laid by IPSA. However, it was pointed out that only a Member of the House is entitled to lay a report before the House of Commons and that in this case it should be the Speaker, and the Bill was amended in another place to introduce the word "Speaker" in subsection (5). In response to the earlier point, I have many resolutions in this book about Members’ financial interests, declarations of financial interests and registration of financial interests. We are not talking about two different things in origin. They may be two different things now, but they were originally the same.
