Recall of MPs Bill

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

The right hon. Gentleman makes an excellent point. None of us would be here today had we not had the endorsement of our constituents, and none of us should be afraid of that endorsement.

The second trigger is if an MP is suspended from the House for 21 sitting days or more. A suspension of such length indicates that the individual in question has

done something seriously wrong, and constituents should be able to have their say about whether their MP deserves to keep his or her seat.
