Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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

That is one of the reasons why I mentioned the rather odd nature of Dr. Pinto-Duschinsky's own methodology, which missed out my party's entire spending and, because of the years that he chose, most of the Ashcroft money. Nevertheless, I am still confused about whether the Conservative party does not think that total spending is a big problem but is willing to go along with a cap, or whether the right hon. Gentleman does not think that there ought to be a cap at all.
