Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority

Baroness Debbonaire Excerpts

Monday 17th July 2023 Commons Chamber

[Thangam Debbonaire (Bristol West) (Lab)]

I rise to support the motion in the name of the Leader of the House, and to say that Dame Laura Cox has brought a great deal to this House. She has challenged us; she has worked with us; she has reviewed the independent complaints and grievance system, thereby strengthening our system of accountability for bullying and sexual harassment; and she has come to know us well. I believe she will be a good critical friend. She has been duly well appointed, and I support the motion.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I call the Scottish National party spokesperson.
