Business question from Aidan Burley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The GMB union has claimed that, without the support of trade unions, Labour would have lost another 40 to 50 seats at the general election. With several marginal constituencies receiving thousands of pounds, such as the £5,600 given by the GMB to Dudley North, which was won by just 649 votes, may we have a debate in Government time on capping political donations to end any undue influence by only one political donor?
