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.
