Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Political Parties (Funding).
Political Parties (Funding)
The right hon. Gentleman is going through the Hayden Phillips recommendations and it must be obvious to all reasonable people that the three political parties should feel obliged to reach an agreement along the lines of those recommendations as quickly as possible in order to restore some confidence in our political system. Would he move on to the key point of how trade union block grants should be treated under any system? Is he content to say that members of trade unions should be allowed to contribute like anyone else, giving voluntary contributions, and subject to the same overall limits that every other individual ought to be subject to?
