Marcus Houlden @mhoulden.uk · 17/09/2026On the face of it quite a boring report about a planning application, apart from this bit. I think more planning officers should be sarcastic 000 0

![Text from Procedural Protocol in respect of the [House of Commons] Code of Conduct
Suspension of investigations
39. The Commissioner has the discretion to suspend investigations at any time. This may, for example, happen if the Member suffers ill health or a bereavement during the investigation, or where a related police investigation is taking place.
40. If Parliament is dissolved or the Member otherwise ceases to be a Member while an investigation is in progress, the Commissioner will suspend their investigation until the Member is re-elected. If the Member is not returned to Parliament, the Commissioner will decide if it is appropriate and proportionate to resume their investigation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmppiuago56wceyyfncnjdqb/bafkreiay5ydptxfppsdrtbeo7yabzcazwcxfp4oeb222bx4pb7zkc3erei)
