Proceeding contribution from Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Companies (Political Expenditure Exemption) Order 2007.


Companies (Political Expenditure Exemption) Order 2007

I got quite excited about this order. I thought that I was going to get up and save the unions, as it were, but then I discovered that it did not apply to them at all. So I can only agree that this is an administrative measure, designed to replace the Companies (EU Political Expenditure) Exemption Order 2001 with one relating to the Companies Act. As such, we have no substantive points to make and I am happy to sit down.
