Anyone know what the penalties for contempt of parliament are?

Well the individual can be dragged before parliament to appologise in person, or they can be imprisoned, fines have been removed as a way of dealing with individuals  (in 1792) the last time someone was fined for these charges was in 1666. Its all a bit academic though, as all the law I've been able to track down involves individuals rather than companies.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
