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 am grateful to both noble Lords for supporting this part of the Bill and the government amendments. We, in our turn, will support Amendment 85. Indeed, my name is attached to the noble Lord’s amendment. As to the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Tyler, about keeping the threshold under review, in due course we will come to government Amendment 112, which I hope does that in a satisfactory way. Amendment 80 agreed. Amendment 81 not moved.
