Oris Johnson proposed to ban members of Congress from serving as paid political advisers or lobbyists because he tried to prevent dirty quarrels against the Conservative Party.
He said he had written to the Speaker of the House of Commons, proposing to update the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament.
In a letter to Prime Minister Sir Lindsay Hoyle detailing his plan, the government will ensure that MPs who “ignore their duties to voters and prioritize external interests will be investigated and appropriately punished by existing disciplinary authorities.” “.
He added that they “will also prohibit members of Congress from taking advantage of their positions by acting as paid political advisers or lobbyists.”
The move was an attempt to draw a line between the destructive saga that began with Mr. Johnson’s attempt to overhaul the disciplinary system to prevent Owen Patterson’s immediate suspension.
The Prime Minister was forced to turn around to oppose the plan. The former Conservative Party minister resigned from the North Shropshire MP because the vote was rescheduled to prohibit him from violating lobbying rules in the House of Commons for six weeks.
Mr. Johnson’s latest plan came the day before the Labor Party voted to ban MPs from serving as paid advisers or directors in Wednesday’s opposition day debate.
Backbenchers from the government and the Conservative Party will find themselves in a difficult situation, either supporting the Labor Party’s plan or facing accusations that they have failed to eradicate the scandal.
Soon after the implementation of a motion unanimously passed on Tuesday, the prime minister tweeted his proposal. government Turn around in Irving Patterson’s row.
It canceled the so-called Leadsom Amendment, which was designed to review MP standard investigation procedures in order to postpone Mr. Paterson’s suspension.
It also supports the report of the Standards Committee of the House of Commons that if Mr. Patterson remains a member of Congress, he will be suspended for 30 days.
After the government abandoned attempts to delay suspension and reform standard procedures, Mr. Patterson resigned from his position as a member of Parliament.
On Monday night, as a veteran Sir Torrey, his attempt to quietly support the report on Mr. Patterson’s conduct by the House of Commons Standards Oversight Agency was thwarted. Christopher Joop Against this move.
Theresa May Warn of “damage” to everyone Congressman with parliament He was squeezed out in a debate in parliament on Tuesday.
The former prime minister stated that it is clear that Mr. Patterson, a former congressman, has violated the lobbying rules, and that congressmen tried to save him “with the help and instigation of the government” as “wrong, wrong judgment and totally wrong”.
Ms. May also suggested that the cancellation of the controversial standard reform proposal that triggered the crisis is “a step in the right direction.”
But she warned that such a move “would not eliminate” the damage caused by the government’s botched attempt to postpone the parliamentary suspension of former Conservative Cabinet Minister Mr. Paterson.
Ms. May told the House of Commons: “Let us be clear, this is not a matter of party politics. All parliamentarians and the entire parliament have been harmed.”
In the report on Mr. Patterson’s behavior, Ms. May, the Conservative Member of Parliament, said: “I believe the conclusion is clear and fair. The rules of propaganda, the procedural reforms to effectively clear his name under cover are wrong, wrong judgments are completely wrong.”
Ms. May said: “It is wrong to think that because someone has violated the rules, the rules are wrong.
“The rule on paid promotion is a long-standing rule.
“The problem arises because someone is trying to effectively let go of the then House of Representatives.
“This runs counter to the rules of paid publicity and the procedures established by the House of Representatives.”
Congressman Maidenhead urged the government to consider how to strengthen the committee’s 2018 recommendations on the standard rules for parliamentarians. Ms. May stated that the broader issue of MPs providing services to their voters is the issue of “their voters”.
At the beginning of the standards debate, the leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Morgue, expressed “regret” and told members of Congress that an amendment to save Mr. Patterson was a “mistake.”
Mr. Rees-Mogg said: “I think this is just the tragedy that tortured (Owen) Mr. Paterson, which casts a shadow over our judgment, and my judgment is wrong, it’s that simple and sad.”
The leaders of the House of Representatives should consider his position like the Prime Minister, because they need to undermine the Standard Commissioner in order for this stupid and stupid plan to work.
He added: “I regret that the amendment confuses individual cases with more general concerns. This is a mistake.”
But SNP Commons leader Pete Wishart suggested that Mr. Rees-Mogg and Prime Minister Mr. Johnson should consider their positions.
Mr. Wishart criticized the “malicious and malicious attempts” of Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary standards commissioner for “destroying and discrediting”.
Ms. Stone’s investigation found that Mr. Patterson had violated the House of Commons’ code of conduct by lobbying ministers and officials for the two companies and paid him more than £100,000 a year.
On Monday, British Secretary of Commerce Kwasi Kwarteng apologized to Ms. Stone after publicly speculating about Stone’s future.
Mr. Wishart said: “She should not consider her position. House leaders should consider his position like the Prime Minister, because they need to undermine the Standard Commissioner to make this stupid and stupid plan work for them. Of course, it did not work at all. “
The Conservative Christchurch MP, Sir Christopher, said he blocked the motion on Monday night because it is important for the House of Commons to “debate this issue publicly.”
“I have no regrets about it,” he added.
Mr. Patterson’s wife Rose ended her life last year. The former congressman said part of the reason was the investigation of him.
Chris Bryant, chairman of the Labor Party’s Standards Committee, said he believes the Patterson family has “experienced hell” in the past year, and said: “I can only deeply regret the parliamentary mischief of the past three weeks. This has increased. Kind of pain.
“This house is not good for him and his family. We should be ashamed of what happened here, but unfortunately, Mr. Patterson’s bad behavior is not the only catalogue.
“As countless Conservative MPs have told me, by the way, I just want to commend the many new Conservative MPs who have shown greater insight than some of their longer-term colleagues in the past three weeks. The way the Prime Minister handled this matter with the government is shameful, and it makes the House of Representatives notorious.”
When talking about the government’s behavior, Mr. Bryant said: “Completely wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, the government knows this.”
