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.

May I say gently to the hon. Gentleman that he may be confusing sentence with offence? There is no attempt to make a retrospective offence. What we are saying is that one of the tariffs to which an hon. Member would be subject is recall. It is about balancing the rights to justice with the rights of our constituents. If he is saying that he will oppose us on this measure, I do not think he will find many colleagues with him in the Lobby.
