Recall of MPs Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 January 2015. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Recall of MPs Bill.

I apologise for interrupting. My noble friend says that the amendment does not affect that. The amendment states:

“In making a determination under subsection (7), a parliamentary misconduct hearing may not consider conduct specifically relating to the respondent’s official duties in a ministerial capacity”.

So if, as a Minister, he has misled the House, is that not a “get out of jail free” card?
