Political Parties: Funding

My Lords, the noble and learned Lord avoided answering the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Waddington, about prosecutions, by saying that it was desirable to put in place a good statutory regime for the future. Does the noble and learned Lord think it is desirable that, if an offence has been committed under existing legislation, a prosecution should be brought? If so, would the noble and learned Lord bring that to the attention of the appropriate person?
