HC Deb 10 November 1975 vol 899 c526W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to ensure that Members of Parliament are subject to the same conditions as civil servants in respect of the Corrupt Practices Act.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The Prevention of Corruption Acts are currently being considered by the Royal Commission on Standards of Conduct in Public Life: I think that the House would wish to await their views before considering any changes in this area of the law.
