Is the European Parliament protecting Huhne?

Update, I made a hash of this post, however there is still a point in it.


I ask because looking at their archives there is a bit of a hole.

Chris Huhne was an MEP for the period 1999-2005, that is in European Parliamentary terms the 5th and 6th Legislature (not 4th and 5th as I had previously suggested (thanks Jonathan))

Here is his page- with him looking like a chipmunk - on the public archive for the period 2004-2005 (when he left to take up his seat in Eastleigh).

You will note that it includes an attendence record.

It also points out that he was in the previous legislature,

United Kingdom 20.07.1999/19.07.2004: Liberal Democrat Party
United Kingdom20.07.2004/10.05.2005: Liberal Democrat Party

But there is no attendence records for the 5th term, only the 6th despite what it says.

Parliamentary activities in plenary – 6th parliamentary term

Of course the attendence record for that term would include the key dates of the 12th/13th March 2003.
