ANDREW LANSLEY: Yes, I think he was right because the authority of parliament frankly
has been brought in to crisis point and that authority
needs to be re-established not just in relation to the Speaker, but in so many other ways, which is why tomorrow for example, the scrutiny panel that David Cameron
has established, that is going to be looking not only at
making sure that
everything we do is transparent and reasonable in the future on clear, unambiguous rules, but we are going to look back, as indeed we
've done in the Shadow Cabinet and said, it's not about whether we were
within the rules, it's not about whether it was legitimate, it's actually about whether we
have done something which is unreasonable, which the public
would not regard as acceptable and that, that test, that tougher test is one we
've applied to ourselves and we will apply throughout the Conservative Parliamentary Party.
Within an hour I was emailed a credit application (which I easily filled out online in 2 minutes) and
had a phone call from CC (Salesperson for the transaction) to
make sure they
had everything they
needed for a smooth transaction.
