Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am writing a letter because of what my noble friend said in relation to those who are impoverished and facing the civil sanction of a fixed monetary penalty. In the same letter, I will give some examples to the noble Lord and the Committee of the sort of offences that really ought to be dealt with by the criminal courts as opposed to being subject to civil sanctions. Would that help? It will give us an opportunity to come up with a number of examples across the field.
