Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Recall of MPs Bill.

Does the hon. Gentleman wish to say something? He is wavering about whether to intervene. I may be persuading him; he may wish to withdraw his amendment on the strength of what I am saying.

There is a further protection, which has been overlooked throughout this whole debate on the issue of recall, and that is that if the behaviour is so egregious—so shocking to all good common sense—then this House of Commons has the right to expel that Member anyway. We should not forget that, or allow it to wither on the vine.
