Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.

Parliamentary Standards Bill

My Lords, the Government have taken on board the concerns that were raised 10 years ago, but your Lordships will remember that the recommendations were not all universally welcomed. Some of them have proved not to be entirely correct, so perhaps this is not the moment to bandy about beliefs about who was right and who was wrong. I simply ask noble Lords to accept that we have all learnt a lot through the passage of time.
