Dr Andrew Murrison

Conservative — South West Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2024

Debate

Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and International Committee of the Red Cross (Status) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

Nobody doubts the good work of the CPA or the ICRC—we have all seen it as parliamentarians—but does the Minister understand that many of us are a little wary about conferring privileges and immunities by Order in Council after the Bill is passed, since this House is not, in general, in the habit of granting privileges and immunities without scrutiny?
