Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

I am grateful to the Minister. Does she recognise that there is a great deal of urgency in this matter? One of the unfortunate effects of the events of the past few days, not least for her party, is that in the immediate future there will be a dearth of donations, let alone loans. I read in the paper that at least one party is technically insolvent at the moment and is experiencing negative equity, so there is urgency in this. Can she give us any indication of the sort of timescale the Government have in mind?
