Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.


Parliamentary Standards Bill

Reverting to the right hon. Gentleman's opening remarks about the time allowed for this debate, it seems rather sad that yet again, a Bill aimed at the House of Commons had the fundamental work on it done in the House of Lords. We must get the systems in this place right so that we deal effectively with legislation here, rather than relying on the House of Lords.
