STATE FUNDING OF POLITICAL PARTIES

That this House welcomes the review into the funding of political parties which is long overdue; notes that state funding of political parties has been mentioned as a possible solution; further notes that this would be highly unpopular with the British public; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that a referendum is held before any such proposal is implemented.
