Proceeding contribution from Peter Viggers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

Much of the legislation that deals with the Electoral Commission is not clear. Several matters have been left incomplete in specifying how exactly it and the Speaker's Committee will operate. It has been necessary over the years for the Speaker's Committee to be a little creative in its operation. I am sure that the committee will listen carefully to everything that has been said in the House and will take account of it. With those few words, I ask hon. Members to support the amendments.
