Parliamentary Standards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
Will the hon. and learned Gentleman expand on his logic? The House already has a code, and another code is proposed in clause 5. Why would the proposal mean a reverse in justiciability in relation to our own code? Would not the courts understand that justiciability would apply to the rules or code in clause 5?
