George Galloway deve ser suspendido das terras comuns por 18 dias, o cão de guarda dos padrões recomendado hoje. Encontrar vem na vigília de uma investigação pelo comissário para padrões parliamentary em pagamentos ao charity agora-defunct da apelação de Mariam. A suspensão - que veria que o PM controverso do respeito descascou de seu salário e barrado das terras comuns - será votada agora formalmente sobre pela casa de terras comuns. A suspensão realiza-se por 18 dias sentando-se e começaria uma vez que a casa retorna no outono. O PM do verde & da curva de Bethnal reagiu irritadamente ao julgamento, emitindo uma indicação que reiterating que se tinha beneficiado nunca pessoalmente de todos os dinheiros usados pelo charity. O Sr. Galloway disse: “Uma vez que mais no entanto outra vez mim foram cancelaram de fazer exame de uma única moeda de um centavo ou em toda a maneira que se beneficia pessoalmente do regime Iraqi anterior através do óleo para o programa do alimento ou os quaisquer outros meios. “Após um inquérito four-year - custando uma fortuna em fundos públicos - o relatório pergunta-me que para se desculpar não registar consistentemente a apelação que de Mariam eu estabeleci (o comissário concedes que eu assim, mas aleatòria) e para usar a casa de recursos das terras comuns me alocou para fazer campanha de encontro às políticas daqueles que se sentam agora no julgamento em mim.” Os padrões e os privilégios que das terras comuns o comitê de MPs reconhece que “teve estes sidos as únicas matérias antes de nós, nós confinar-se-iam a procurar um apology à casa”. Mas a conduta do Sr. Galloway criticado comitê visada “escondendo a fonte verdadeira do Iraqi que financía” para um charity que se ajustou acima e falha cooperar com o comissário parliamentary para padrões. relatório mammoth do três-volume tem mais de 20 conclusões, mas somente duas recomendações que o uso do Sr. Galloway de recursos parliamentary ajudar à apelação de Mariam era “unreasonable” e resultaria em uma chamada para um apology. However, the report states that because of Mr Galloway’s unwillingness to cooperate with their inquiry, and his attitude and “calling into question of the commissioner’s and our own integrity”, the MP had damaged the reputation of the House of Commons and should be suspended for 18 sitting days. That punishment is expected to commence on October 8, the day parliament returns from the summer recess. It is subject to approval from a vote of all MPs. The specific areas in which the report agrees with the findings of the investigation of the commissioner for parliamentary standards, Sir Philip Mawer, are that Mr Galloway: ? Did not register his interest in the Mariam Appeal, or the individual donations it received above the registration threshold; ? Did not declare his interest in the Mariam Appeal on all occasions when he should have done so; ? Used his parliamentary office and staff in support of the Mariam Appeal to an excessive extent; ? Breached the advocacy rule in the terms in which it was in force at the time. Speaking at an impromptu press conference outside parliament, Mr Galloway accepted the suspension, joking: “To be deprived of the company for 18 days of the honourable ladies and gentleman behind me [in parliament] will be painful … but I’m intending to struggle on regardless.” But, pointing out that the suspension only came about because of the way he conducted his defence, Mr Galloway insisted: “What really upset them [the committee] is that I always defend myself. “I am not a punchbag. If you aim low blows at me, I’ll fight back.” He complained he had been convicted by a committee of “Sir Humphrey…Sir Bufton and Sir Tufton”. In a 20-minute rebuttal, accompanied by a large dossier put out by Respect, Mr Galloway admitted he never asked the three main donors to the appeal, the King of Saudi Arabia, the late Emir of the United Arab Emirates and Farwaz Zureikat, where their money came from, but complained he had been convicted by a “overwhelmingly pro-war House of Commons”. Other MPs who have in the past been suspended from the Commons include Labour’s Keith Vaz and the Tory Jonathan Sayeed. Mr Vaz was suspended for a month for “wrongly interfering” with a second investigation by a previous parliamentary commissioner, Elizabeth Filkin, into his business dealings, while the Tory MP Mr Sayeed was suspended for taking payments for showing guests around the Houses of Parliament.
