Parliamentary Standards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
One of the problems with the Bill is that the drafting seems to be extraordinarily strange in places. Is there any precedent whatever for the Speaker laying anything before the House of Commons? Is there legislation anywhere else which has a provision of this kind?
