独立议员鲁珀特·洛 (Rupert Lowe) 失去了阻止ICGS调查的法庭提议, Independent MP Rupert Lowe lost court bid to stop misconduct probe by ICGS, which will continue.

Great Yarmouth独立议员Rupert Lowe在高等法院败诉, 要求独立申诉与投诉计划(ICGS)停止调查7月针对他的投诉。 Rupert Lowe, an independent MP for Great Yarmouth, has lost a High Court bid to halt an investigation by the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) into a complaint made against him in July. 法院裁定调查符合公共利益,司法干预会损害议会特权。 The court ruled that the probe serves the public interest and that judicial interference would undermine parliamentary privilege. 负责处理欺凌、骚扰和行为失检指控的ICSS将继续进行审查,预期3月17日听证会之前不会有公开结论。 The ICGS, which handles allegations of bullying, harassment, and misconduct, will continue its review, with no public findings expected before a March 17 hearing. 该日还计划就法院对更广泛的法律质疑的管辖权问题进行单独庭审。 A separate hearing on the court’s jurisdiction over the broader legal challenge is also scheduled for that date.
