Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
Parliamentary Standards Bill
When the Justice Secretary began the process of discussions with all the parties, which I very much welcomed, he argued that it was important to have four offences in the Bill, but in the final stage we are left with one. What kind of message does he think that sends the public? At the start he thought that it was important to have tough sanctions against parliamentarians who broke the rules, but we are now left with just one offence.
