Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (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

Absolutely nothing that IPSA or the Commissioner for Parliamentary Investigations does can be regarded as a proceeding in Parliament. It seems very strange to have a position of Commissioner for Parliamentary Investigations which has nothing to do with proceedings in Parliament.
