Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
I commend the hon. Gentleman on his early-day motion, which I would indeed sign were protocol not there to prevent me from doing so. The point that he makes about judges is that it is right that their home addresses are not published because they need to mete out justice without fear or favour when they sit in court. I would think that something of the same argument applies to Members of this House. Our addresses should not be published so that we are able to speak freely on democratic issues of importance in this House without looking over our shoulders.
