Simon Hughes on process and the Speaker

This blog is called Process Guy for a reason. Here is Simon Hughes in Monday’s House of Commons debate on the Damian Green affair:

“However, you, Mr. Speaker, above all, are the guardian of processes and procedures, which safeguard people’s rights and liberties. Whether it is the European convention on human rights, which some people support, or the traditional rights and liberties, they are governed by process as well as substance. Process matters, and it seems to many of us that the process failed.”
