Parliamentary Standards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (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.
When the noble Baroness was asked earlier, she said that an offence committed under the Fraud Act had to be shown to be clearly dishonest. I assume that the words "clearly dishonest" also apply to Clause 8. Is it right that you can be half-dishonest under Clause 8? How does that help us at all? It does not help me in any way. You cannot be half-dishonest.
