Proceeding contribution from Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party) 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

In that case, I was not sufficiently familiar with the Bill. I hope not to irritate my erstwhile Conservative friends too much, but a trade union is a collective of British resident taxpayers and therefore I cannot see why it would not fall within the ambit of the amendment. Nevertheless, I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Henley, and the Front Benches generally can reach agreement on this matter. I look forward to the answer on my European point and support these amendments in general.
