Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) 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 think that the Leader of the House is saying that, in thinking about Clause 5, we should think also about Clause 8. The moment that the offences in Clause 8 become criminal, there is a possibility that the offence referred to in Clause 8(2) will become a disciplinary matter, although that may or may not be the case. Therefore, in looking at Clause 5, we should look forward to Clause 8 as well. Is that roughly the position?
