Small Businesses: Regulation

Monday 11th July 2016

Asked by: Lord Evans of Weardale (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether concerns of MPs about their personal security have adversely affected their confidence in carrying out the full range of their parliamentary duties.

Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley

It is integral to the functioning of our democracy that MPs, Peers, and Ministers are able to carry out the duties without fear for their safety, or that of their staff. The personal security of MP’s is a matter for the House Authorities.
