Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Recall of MPs Bill.

The hon. Gentleman tempts me to restart a debate we had on Second Reading or in Committee. The Opposition are clear that we are representatives, not delegates; and that the basis for recall must be wrongdoing and misconduct, not because an individual constituent or a well-funded vested interest group disagrees with how a Member has voted. That is an important difference.
