Police Searches on the Parliamentary Estate - Committee on the Issue of Privilege Contents


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).
