Recall of MPs Bill

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

Drawing on the previous intervention and my point about litigation, does this not then become a shadow trial in a line to what perhaps should be a

criminal trial in relation to the common law offence? That is the danger, because we are raising not only a civil but criminal liability that may become very protracted and not lead to the end result of a proper recall process.
