Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (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

No, I absolutely do not think that we have overreacted. We are ensuring that in future there will be greater transparency and greater public confidence in the House of Commons. We owe it to our colleagues in the House of Commons to restore trust in our parliamentary system, the trust that has been so severely damaged over the past weeks. That is what this Bill is all about and I think that it is extremely important that we deliver it precisely so that we can restore that trust.
