Committee on Standards

Debate between John McDonnell and Chris Bryant

Wednesday 3rd November 2021 Commons Chamber

[Chris Bryant]

It is a very simple one, Mr Speaker. I do not want to delay the House. Some people have asked whether the Standards Committee continues to exist. It does, and we will be meeting on Tuesday morning. I will still be its Chair.

[John McDonnell (Hayes and Harlington) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I do not believe that any hon. Member is truly honourable if they serve on this new Committee. Therefore I want my constituents to know that no Member of Parliament serves on this corrupt Committee in my name.
