3. Letter to Mr Michael Barnbrook
from the Commissioner, 30 June 2009
Thank you for your letter of 26 June asking to register
a formal complaint against Ms Nadine Dorries MP.
Your letter says that you have not submitted evidence
in relation to your complaint because you were not aware that
Ms Dorries has repudiated the comments attributed to her in the
Daily Telegraph
article from 26 June. As you know, however, I am required to consider
whether the complainant has provided me with sufficient evidence
to justify at least a preliminary inquiry into whether the Member
has breached the rules. To meet that requirement, you do need
to submit the evidence which supports your complaint. Therefore,
if you would like me to consider instituting an inquiry into your
complaint, could you let me have the evidence on which you would
like to rely and an explanation of how you believe Ms Dorries
has breached the rules of the House?
