"content": "One, that we have to be very careful as a House. What is the threshold of culpability? We might set precedence that will come and haunt us in future as a House. The reason I am saying that â and I know it is not popular now â is that when a matter comes before us and we are looking at issues of probity especially of an hon. Member, this Report is very clear on what we are going to discuss. But what if it did not even reach the Committee level? Is it at the point that somebody mentions your name? I know that when Mr. Farah was speaking, he talked about reasonable doubt which is good. But it is reasonable doubt at what level? When we started vetting as a Parliament, some of us were accused of using political leanings and because of that, we have cleaned up the vetting process. We are coming up with a clear system so that we do not have our Ministers living in perpetual fear that they may be haunted. We must put a clear threshold of culpability. Otherwise, I support and thank the Committee for a very good Report."
