Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) 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)
Sir Hayden Phillips did a very good job during the talks, in which I played a part, in establishing near consensus on a wide range of issues concerned with party finance. He also found some of the answers, until the Conservative party decided to change the question rather late in the day and therefore left the talks. Is it not therefore very disappointing that the proposals that the Lord Chancellor has brought forward today fail properly to address the issues of the cap on donations and expenditure and to make the significant changes to the transparency and propriety of trade union funding that we agreed?
