On 10th December the House of Commons Information Office kindly sent me a hardcopy of Mr Speaker’s Protocol on the Execution of a Search Warrant in the Precincts of the House of Commons, which was issued on 8th December. I've typed up a copy of this document, which has not heretofore been available digitally, and put it on the web. This document is important as it sets out the protocol surrounding the searching of an MP's office, including what procedures are to be put into place regarding the police handling of messages sent to MPs by their constituents.
