Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).
Companies Bill [Lords]
I think that the Minister will agree with what I am about to say. Does she agree that, when we are talking about these matters, even in the narrow confines of the Companies Bill, it is important to refute the attitudes of those who think that there is something wrong in financially supporting political parties of all kinds? Ought we not to say to such people that it is an important part of the nature of a democracy that political parties should be so supported, that that is an honourable thing to do, and that it is very much akin to supporting charities and other important institutions?
