Parliamentary Standards Bill

I am very grateful. There must be adequate safeguards against abuse; that is all. There must be adequate safeguards of fairness and safeguards against abuse. I agree that the Government have moved towards that and that in some respects the situation is much better than it was. I would trust the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, and the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay, to devise a procedure between them. I leave that matter to them and the Government. On that basis, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 49 withdrawn. Amendments 50 to 52 not moved. Amendment 53 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.
