Parliamentary Standards Bill

The government amendment to Clause 8(3) has been tabled; it is in the Marshalled List. That is the amendment that I was referring to that we will consider later in Committee. Any amendment that I might bring forward pertaining to Clause 8(2) I will table for Report. I of course undertake to table any amendments for Report at the earliest opportunity. The noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, asked when we might publish a revised Bill. Of course, it depends when we finish Committee, but I undertake to do everything possible to ensure that the revised Bill is published before the weekend.
