Proceeding contribution from Shailesh Vara (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Political Parties (Funding).


Political Parties (Funding)

The Secretary of State seems to have missed the point. He does not seem to appreciate that the phrase ““conflict of interest”” comes into play and that unless the funding by trade unions is put on the table, the Cabinet and the Prime Minister will be accused of having a vested interest in the debate.
