Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) 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
The noble Baroness suggested that it would need serious primary legislation if the sunset clause had to be applied, but that is surely not true. All that would be needed is a very short new Bill, which would simply give effect to the existing provisions, minus the sunset clause. It would be a very simple business indeed to do that.
