Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
Parliamentary Standards Bill
They are both probing at this stage. In other words, I want to hear the Government’s justification for bringing forward these provisions. Later on, I shall speak to the whole clause, with which I have various problems. This is just an opportunity for the Government to explain their thinking before the Bill becomes law. I am asking the noble Baroness—I am sorry to repeat this—to give specific examples of the type of knowingly false representation that will be prosecuted under this new law which could not be pursued as an act of fraud. I beg to move.
