Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 31 January 2013. It occurred during Backbench debate and Debate on select committee report on Select Committee Effectiveness, Resources and Power s.


Select Committee Effectiveness, Resources and Power s

What was the Liaison Committee’s thinking behind paragraph 133 of the report? It states that the Committee was

“persuaded that the disadvantages of enshrining parliamentary privilege in statute would outweigh the benefits”,

but that conclusion was reached ahead of all the work that is being done. It seems to pre-empt a lot of work that is ongoing.
