David, thanks for your reply
Section 1 second paragraph
I don't see why it needs to be said. I'm not looking for a reply on this, just offering my opinion. I can't see why there should not be some flexibility on it, particularly if there are so few cases.
Section 1 Last paragraph
You have not addressed my point that the proposed wording does not actually say what you are saying it should.
Section 5
We appear to agree that the proposed wording could be improved.
Section 6
My main point is that the complainant should have the ability to raise the issue directly with the Standards Committee if they wish and if it is correct for them to do so. If the case is serious enough then it should be allowed and the amendment prohibits it.
