Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) 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

If the hon. Gentleman would bear with me for just one more minute, I shall give him some extra reassurance. We are anxious that it should not be the Government who make those judgments, but the House, properly advised about the application of the principles of data protection by the person Parliament appoints for that job—the Information Commissioner. We are providing that the Information Commissioner will be able to issue their own assessment of each order, in each case, which will be published. It will be made available to the House before the House votes on the order.
