E-mail to the Clerk of the Committee from
Derek Wyatt MP
I do not think MPs should be above the law;
we have a privilege in the Chamber which needs to be protected
but otherwise we should be treated as a citizen of the UK; so
far as police searches are required we need to follow the current
procedures for Joe Bloggs; maybe the search warrant should go
first to the CEO of the Estate and then he or someone from his
office should accompany the police officers to the MP's office
(or MPs' offices).
