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 know that Lord Bach said that, but the basis of what he said is not what the hon. Gentleman says it is. I am very happy for this to be dealt with in greater detail in the winding-up speeches, but everybody believed that what was in the 1983 Act would continue. Lord Neill's report was quite explicit that what became the 2000 Act should buttress what was in the 1983 Act.
