Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) 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 cannot help but have heard the strong arguments around the Committee on this issue. Although I have argued a case which I consider has some merit, I think that in these circumstances it is incumbent on the Government to think again about the noble Lord’s amendment. I give no promise or guarantee at all that we will come back to the noble Lord with a positive answer but I tell him and the Committee that we will think again about this issue.
