Proceeding contribution from Shailesh Vara (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975.

House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975

I believe that the legislation concerning IPSA specifically exempts members of IPSA, so there will not be a need to update the schedule in that respect. Furthermore, as I mentioned in my speech, one of the reasons that some people are added to the list is that the legislation that allows for them to be disqualified is judged to be ineffective because of its wording, rather than for any other reason. It is not always necessary for the schedule to be amended.
