Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) 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 very happy to provide the right hon. Gentleman with the exact quotations between now and the winding-up speeches, but it was never the purpose of either Lord Neill or the then Home Secretary, who happened to be me, that the provisions in what became the 2000 Act should replace the triggering. Everybody thought that the drafting of what became the 2000 Act would complement and supplement the 1983 Act, except in one or two particulars, and not be an alternative to it, and that is a matter of record.
