Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.

Electoral Administration Bill

Does the Minister’s outline proposal mean that only the last three months before an election would be subject to the controls? When he says that it would apply to the rolling three-month period, would that involve only those candidates who had not been a good judge of when the election was going to be? They could have spent a lot more between six and three months before the election, if they had been right in their judgment as to when the election was to be held. Is that correct?
