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

I think that the hon. Gentleman should look at the existing legislation, which exempts from the national limit—which, incidentally, is only one year before the election anyway—"““any expenses in respect of newsletters or similar publications issued by or on behalf of the party””" —the word ““party”” should be noted—"““with a view to giving electors in a particular electoral area information about the opinions or activities of, or other personal information relating to, their elected representatives or existing or prospective candidates””."
