I think yesterday he was operating with Parliamentary Privilege. "Parliamentary privilege grants certain legal immunities for Members of both Houses to allow them to perform their duties without interference from outside of the House. Parliamentary privilege includes freedom of speech and the right of both Houses to regulate their own affairs." I don't know how 'certain legal immunities' is defined. In other words, can he lie and get away with it? From what I heard most of it was believable though. Except the old Barnard Castle story. Hunt specifically quizzed him on why he thought it was okay to go with wife and kid on a test drive. Cummings thought there was nothing strange about that.
