Review of Parliamentary Standards Act 2009

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on all the hard work that he has undertaken over many months on this very important issue. There is now a person in the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority called the compliance officer, and as a consequence of my having a very small logo on my website—a tiny little thing with ““Labour”” on it—I received two recorded delivery letters and was summonsed to respond within a certain time. When I phoned, I asked why they did not just lift the phone to me and say, ““Look, this is against the rules. Why don't you remove it?”” It was the way that it was done. The bureaucracy involved in that process needs to be considered, along with many other things.
