Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

I have a lot of sympathy with what the Minister is trying to do; there is a burden involved, and there are many decent people who want to give relatively modest sums and who have no wish to influence an individual candidate or policy. Will he help the House by explaining how he arrived at the figure of £500? Was the decision based on some sort of rule of thumb?
