Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.
Political Parties and Elections Bill
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister. He has cited the commission in support of what the Government propose, but the commission made a clear statement that, in its view, ""an increase of this level has the potential to reduce public confidence in the transparency and integrity of political funding"." I wonder whether he can reconcile his statement with the view expressed by the commission.
