Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Conservative) 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

This is a very innocent and ignorant question. I could not help noting stylistically that in Section 147 of the 2000 Act, which of course is removed by Clause 3 of the Bill, there is a significant number of identified penalties but there is not the same transparency and clarity in terms of financial penalties in the context of Schedule 20. I am interested to know whether there is any way in which, for the untutored, the process can be made simpler.
