| It is, however, in other country, notably the UK, that the case law has developed. At issue are two related questions: Does the disputed evidence constitute parliamentary proceedings? If the proceedings are internal to Parliament, do they lie outside the jurisdiction of the courts?316
In the UK case of R v Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, ex parte Al Fayed317 the Court of Appeal refused an application for judicial review of the report of the Parliamentary Commissioner which had rejected Al Fayed’s claim that an MP (Neil Hamilton) had received a corrupt payment. It was confirmed that the Commissioner’s inquiry and report were ‘proceedings in Parliament’. It is therefore the House of Commons, not the courts, which are responsible for the activities of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. A contrast was drawn [in this respect between the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration (the Ombudsman).]
