Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (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

I have a brief question for the noble Lord, Lord Norton of Louth. I followed his argument quite closely: he seeks to establish a role for the commission which concentrates on its core functions. Is his amendment born out of a conversation with the commission? Has the commission made representations to him and asked for this amendment to be brought forward? I wonder what has happened that he should suddenly decide to table the amendment. It must stem from some conversations or some concerns being expressed somewhere.
