Business of the House

Business question from Brian Jenkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Can my right hon. Friend find Government time for a debate in this Chamber on the use of privilege? We all know that privilege is used to stop rich individuals out there using the threat of legal action to prevent Members from raising issues here, but it cannot be right for Members to make allegations against ordinary working people in this country. That cowardly use of privilege only detracts from the status of every Member of this House.
