House of Lords (Expulsion and Suspension) Bill — New Clause 3 — Code of Conduct to Be Referenced in Motions to Suspend or Expel Members — 27 Feb 2015 at 13:15
The majority of MPs taking part voted not to allow the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct which, if in-place, would have to be referenced in resolutions to expel or suspend a member.
MPs were considering the House of Lords (Expulsion and Suspension) Bill[1].
The rejected new clause, titled Code of Conduct stated:
- (1) Standing Orders of the House of Lords may provide for the adoption of a code of conduct.
- (2) A resolution passed by virtue of section 1(4) must include a reference to the relevant provision of any code of conduct which the House of Lords may have adopted and which has not been superseded by a subsequent decision of the House.”
An explanation of the intent of this proposed new clause was provided:
This Clause allows the House of Lords to adopt a code of conduct and also requires the application of penalties under this Bill to be linked to that code, if there is one.
