Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Recall of MPs Bill.


Recall of MPs Bill

There is another scenario in which the Committee decides on nine days, but a political majority in the House of Commons decides to overturn—that is what the provision requires—the decision and make it 10 days. In other words, the House of Commons itself can take a political decision and completely undermine the quasi-judicial nature of the decision.
