Oh I think she was perfectly allowed to do so. I don't think that it would have taken long for the government lawyers to come to the conclusion that they can't actually do anything about it. So by having Harriet promise hellfire and retribution the government can at least give the impression that they share public concerns even though they actually seem to have approved the deal. Therebye deflecting criticism of their complicity in the matter and creating a nice scapegoat in the form of Godwin. Harriet is merely the leader of the commons so isn't actually that important in the administration of government so makes a nice vehicle for this kind of thing.
