Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) 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
That was an interesting lesson from Canada, but the Secretary of State suggests that we should make no change in this critical and crucial part of this Bill, and continue with business as usual. The public will find that staggering, because it means that people will still be able to buy political influence by donating to political parties. It will be back to cash for honours and people giving £1 million to the Labour party so that they end up in the other place.
