By

The report follows a consultation across parliament

The House of Commons Commission published its report and supporting documents on the risk-based exclusion of members of parliament (MPs) under criminal investigation for violent or sexual offences on 5 June, which follows a consultation and engagement process. The report summarises key themes from the consultation, the Commission’s response and sets out the next steps. The report is due to be debated and a motion which would enact an exclusion mechanism will be considered.
