LEGAL SANCTIONS ON HON. MEMBERS

Early day motion 1767, tabled 29 June 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 10 members.

That this House notes with concern proposals to remove proposed legal sanctions on hon. Members who wilfully and seriously transgress the rules on expenses claims, registration of interests and paid advocacy; believes that hon. Members should be honest and if they are not, should be subject to the same legal sanctions as the people they are elected to represent; and urges the Conservative Party and all hon. Members to take account of public opinion and support legal sanctions in such cases.

Signatures by party: DUP 4, Labour 4, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
