Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) 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
Is the right hon. Gentleman familiar with Lord Ashcroft's words? He said:"““We haven't been wasting our time or our resources. Of the 33 candidates who won seats from Labour or the Liberal Democrats””" at the last election,"““no fewer than 25 had received support from the fund that I had set up with Leonard Steinberg and the Midlands Industrial Group””." Many of us would consider that an abuse of the electoral system.
