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.

If someone commits an offence currently for which the sentence tariff is less than one year, it is quite reasonable that in future the House of Commons may change the disqualification Act to bring that disqualification down to less than one year. That would equally apply to them. Why does the hon. Gentleman not think that this House has the right to recall somebody who has committed offences prior to this date?
