-
‘(4) The second recall condition is that, following on from a report from the Committee on Standards, the House of Commons order the suspension of the MP from the service of the House for a specified period of requisite length.
-
(4A) A specified period is of requisite length for the purposes of subsection (4) if—
-
(a) where the period is expressed as a number of sitting days, the period specified is of at least 10 sitting days, or
-
(b) in any other case, the period specified (however expressed) is a period of at least 14 days.”
