Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) 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

Before the noble Baroness sits down, perhaps I may ask again my question as to what will be the public’s perception in relation to a one-year maximum sentence. I understand her point that there are other offences that are less important, but it will look to be a cop-out.
