Parliamentary Standards Bill

I was not sneering at the right hon. Member for Chingford and Woodford Green (Mr. Duncan Smith). [Hon. Members: "He meant the hon. Member for Wirral, West."] Okay, but I was chuckling at him, because there was a disconnection between his invective against the Prime Minister and what he said in his next breath about this not being a party political issue. I agree that it should not be seen as a party political issue, and I remind the House that all three party leaders backed the establishment of a parliamentary standards authority. [Interruption.] Okay, that was the view of the Leader of the Opposition, and it was also the view of the leader of the Liberal Democrats.
