Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (UK Independence Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.

Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am grateful. I shall take the Secretary of State back to the Bill. Does he agree that the political consensus on the Bill has been put at grave risk by the Conservative party continuing to fund, by tens of thousands of pounds, marginal constituencies prior to an election being called? That is against the spirit of what the Bill seeks to achieve. It is against what the British people think is fair play. Does that not show how necessary the Bill is?
