Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Claire O'Neill (Conservative). It was answered by Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 20 November 2012 on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister.


Recall of Members

Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what progress he has made on introducing a process of recall for hon. Members found guilty of serious wrongdoing.
Answer

Last year, the Government published their draft Bill on the recall of MPs for pre-legislative scrutiny by the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee, whose report was published in June this year. The Government submitted an interim response confirming that we remain committed to establishing a recall mechanism that is robust, transparent and fair. We are now taking proper time to reflect on the Committee’s recommendations.
