Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.


Parliamentary Standards Bill

I do not for a minute dissent from what my hon. Friend is saying. He is moving an important amendment that certainly has my support. Does he agree that it is appalling that we have only one hour to consider a completely rewritten Bill? I readily acknowledge that it was substantially improved in the House of Lords, but we have only one hour to consider all the important Lords amendments, as well as my hon. Friend's very important amendment. Is this not a terrible way to treat the House on the last day before we rise?
