Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) 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, as the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, mentioned, I said in Committee that it is highly desirable that the Bill should contain provisions about what is to happen if no fault is found—which it does not at the moment. I notice that that is covered in Amendment 12 rather than in Amendments 9, 10 or 11, but I think that the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, has treated them together. The noble Lord’s suggestion in Amendment 12 that it should be a matter for a Member to choose whether the findings remain off the record or are published if he or she wishes it is perfectly reasonable.
