Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority

The answer to the hon. Gentleman is that IPSA is independent. All we are doing this evening is appointing a Committee to oversee the appointment of the chairman and the members of the committee. If the hon. Gentleman wants an assurance that IPSA will be independent, I hope that he got that in the debate that we had in July when IPSA was set up—an organisation for which I think he voted in the Lobby.
