Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 May 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Review of Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.


Review of Parliamentary Standards Act 2009

The hon. Gentleman is making a very good speech, but is it not a fact that the vast majority of Members in this House never did anything wrong and never broke any rules—I am talking about more than 600 of us—but have been rewarded by having our job of serving our constituents and checking on the Executive made much more difficult? My job here is to serve my constituents and call the Executive to account, and I am finding it much more difficult to do that under the new rules.
