Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political Parties (Funding and Expenditure).


Political Parties (Funding and Expenditure)

I agree with the central burden of what my hon. Friend has said. The £20 million cap would be better than the current situation if it covered all campaign spending, and therefore one of the proposals to which I drew attention in my statement is that we should look again at the definition of campaign spending in schedule 8 to the 2000 Act as well as moving towards comprehensive all-Parliament controls in the future.
