Political Parties and Elections Bill

I shall not be moving the two other amendments in this group—Amendments 60B and 62—as I think that we discussed them to some extent yesterday. I apologise again to the Committee for the fact that I was unable to be present when my noble friend dealt with them. However, perhaps noble Lords will bear with me if I briefly touch on Amendment 60A, which I do not think need take up too much of the Committee’s time. As the noble Lord will see, the amendment inserts "promptly" after the word "shall", so that the commission imposes a discretionary requirement on someone promptly. I hope that that is as simple and self-explanatory as possible. It stems from a desire to ensure that the commission demonstrates good practice if it hopes for similar good practice in return from those with whom it deals. Having said merely that, I would be grateful to hear what the Minister has to say. I beg to move.
