Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.
Electoral Administration Bill
As I have said, the events of a few months ago showed that we needed transparency. My hon. Friend the Member for Walsall, North (Mr. Winnick) pointed out that there was a loophole that no one in this House recognised. Our discussions with the various parties represented here have led us to come up with what we think are sensible, coherent and transparent proposals. I shall not comment on any Metropolitan police investigation that may be under way, but I believe that the amendments will reassure the House and the general public about how political parties will be funded.
