Privileges Committee

Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas filed a privilege motion against Bhara Kahu SHO Sub-inspector Naeemul Hassan for allegedly stopping him from proceeding to his residence in a 'rude and discourteous' manner. The incident occurred after a delegation of opposition leaders, including Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, and Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, was prevented from traveling to Azad Jammu and Kashmir to express solidarity with protesters.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will face Kemi Badenoch and other MPs in the final PMQs of the 2024-26 parliamentary session, with the government recently defeating a motion to refer Starmer to the Privileges Committee. The session will allow Starmer to reflect on passed legislation and address rebel Labour MPs labeled as 'usual suspects'.

UK MPs will vote on whether to launch an inquiry into Prime Minister Keir Starmer's appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington, following claims of misleading Parliament. The Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, is set to approve a debate on referring Starmer to the privileges committee, as reported by The Guardian.

Senior Labour figures have dismissed Conservative calls for a new investigation into Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statements about Peter Mandelson's appointment as political point scoring. The Conservatives are urging the cross-party Privileges Committee to examine whether Starmer misled Parliament regarding the adherence to normal procedures in Mandelson's appointment.

Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has called for a Commons privileges committee to investigate whether Prime Minister Keir Starmer misled parliament over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to Washington. The inquiry would assess if Starmer committed contempt of parliament, a potential offense leading to ministerial resignation.
