Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.

Parliamentary Standards Act 2009

I want time to set out our recommendations, but the report states:"““Some of our recommendations require legislative changes; others are not dependent on legislation, but could be brought about in that way if IPSA does not act.””" If the Committee had stopped there, my hon. Friend's point would have had some force, but it did not. The report goes on to say:"““We believe that step should be taken””—" meaning that legislation should be introduced—if IPSA"““has not implemented the recommendations of this report by 1 April 2012.””"
