Members of Parliament may not be held liable for opinions expressed or votes cast in the discharge of their duties. Without the authorisation of the House to which he or she belongs, no Member of Parliament may be subjected to personal or home search, nor be arrested or otherwise deprived of personal freedom, nor held in detention, except in execution of an irrevocable sentence of conviction, or if found committing an offence for which arrest in flagrante delicto is mandatory. Such authorisation is also required in order to subject Members of Parliament to any form of interception of their conversations and communications or seizure of their correspondence.
