Parliamentary Standards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Eden of Winton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Parliamentary Standards Bill.
Is the guidance likely to draw the Member’s attention to the fact that, if a knowingly false claim is made, the Member would be liable to prosecution? Would that prosecution liability come under the Fraud Act or would it come under this Bill? If so, what is difference between the two and how would the guidance make that distinction?
