Parliamentary Standards Bill

That is right. The current system—the Green Book, the MPs’ code of conduct—included guidance on financial interests. But we are talking about a new system where there will be a general code in relation to MPs and a code of conduct on financial interests. That is what we are discussing. As to the Speaker laying the code, my understanding is that the wording of this part of the Bill has been discussed with the House authorities to ensure that it is acceptable.
