I am trying to understand why we treat the Houses of this Parliament specifically as so special. The people who work here should not have any fear, whether they work for MPs or for the Houses themselves. I am probably going against some huge convention about the status of this place, so forgive me if I am. If this House and the other House are being treated in this way, I would be very interested to understand why, as a consequence, it is not the case for the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Senedd and the Northern Ireland Assembly, even though Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Ministers are not Ministers of the Crown.
