Parliamentary Standards Bill

I do not want to interrupt my right hon. Friend's train of thought, but, having been a member of the Committee that introduced the Committee on Standards and Privileges, I have yet to hear from anyone that there is an urgent need for the arrangement to be changed. I know that we are not specifically discussing the case in question, but I have yet to understand that any other than the Leader of the House's opinion believes that the punishment should have been harsher. Other than that, I am aware of no one in the media who is saying, "If only we had some other system that is tougher than this one", and none of my constituents have written to me to say that. This system is generally accepted to be reasonable, fair and, at the right moments, harsh on those it needs to be harsh on.
