Proceeding contribution from Speaker in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
Parliamentary Standards Bill
I am not aware whether any Committee has sat, but I rather doubt it. The plain fact of the matter is that it is entirely open to the Government to table a motion. That was done, that motion has been decided, and we are now living with the consequences. Whatever strong feelings there are in the House, we have limited time, and I should try to ensure that such time is used to debate what is on the Order Paper.
