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)
There are a number of imaginative proposals for additional state funding, including the Power commission proposal, to which I was quite attracted. However, there are also problems with the proposals. We have to recognise that each of the proposals involves a transfer of funding from the taxpayer to political parties by some means or other. We would certainly need broad consensus on that, and we would have to carry the public with us.
