To mislead parliament
To mislead parliament is to present false information to parliament knowingly, a very serious charge in Westminster-style parliamentary assemblies.〔(http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2003/s922068.htm )〕〔(Inside Parliament: Minister's apology fails to satisfy MPs: Handling of 'misleading' answer over Bill for disabled people angers both sides of House - Parliament held in contempt, Speaker told )〕 Government ministers that are found to have misled parliament will generally lose their ministerial portfolio. By convention, a minister found to have misled parliament is expected to resign or face being sacked. The Scottish Government ministerial code requires ministers to resign if they mislead Parliament.〔(http://www.yousufhamid.com/2009/05/salmond-misleading-parliament.html )〕
For witnesses giving testimony to an Australian parliamentary committee, giving misleading evidence can be considered a contempt of parliament.〔(Appearing as a witness at a Parliamentary committee hearing )〕
