Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyrie (Conservative) 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 participated in the talks from start to finish, and the Lord Chancellor's description is a travesty of the truth—the House needs to know that. Frankly, the statement that we just heard was partisan. The return of the triggering rules will restrict candidates in marginal seats but not sitting MPs, who benefit from the communications allowance. As Labour holds all the marginal seats, is there not a blatant act of partisanship hidden under the guise of all-party agreement on the Sir Hayden Phillips talks?
