Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Twigg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Recall of MPs Bill.

I thank my hon. Friend for putting that on the record.

The example of the “cash for questions” scandal in the 1990s exemplifies the weakness in the Bill. If we accept the principle of recall, then surely such clear examples of misconduct should fall within the criteria that I set out.
