Parliamentary Standards Bill

I have a simple question for the Leader of the House. She has gone through this clause and explained all the complications and the offences to which Members of Parliament will be liable. Does she not think that we have gone over the top? Four years ago, the situation was the same as it was 34 years ago. Members of Parliament were governed by the rules then and there would not have been a row four years ago, but now there is the most appalling row. Does she not think that we have overreacted?
