Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

The point that I was trying to make, which I probably did not do clearly enough, was that the commission would not be able to seize the documents. That may well have been the case when the Bill was originally published, but the Government have made a justified concession, if that is the right expression, on that point. It is not a matter of seizure.
