Speaker makes the Commons gasp.

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk
House of Commons Speaker Michael Martin Mr Martin has said he "regretted" that police had been allowed to search a Tory MP's office without a warrant,

He revealed the Serjeant at Arms had authorised the action in Damian Green's office by signing a consent form.

blog it
No warrant? An illegal search of he Commons!! If the most venerable place in the Kingdom is allowed to be beyond the law, what RIGHTS for the ordinary man on the Clapham bus?
It is an outrage. Not only should the Serjeant at Arms Jill Pay be publically cast out, but the police should be hauled in front of the Bar of the Commons to face the wrath that our representatives muster in our name.
In 1642 the Speaker made his infamous "no eyes nor ears other than that which Parliament..." How meaningless now?
