Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am tempted to ask the Minister whether he recognises that he is speaking out loud. I am very grateful to all Members of the Committee who have spoken in support of the amendment. The Minister will have noticed that he is somewhat isolated on the issue—he is in a minority of two, with support from his fellow Minister—and that, so far as I can determine, his arguments did not seem to persuade the rest of the Committee.
