Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (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 will certainly look at that in due course. The third amendment is the most important. I always worry about the Government in their legislative capacity, particularly when I look at some of the motoring legislation in which they imply that careless driving is almost the same as reckless driving. One should be very wary about what they are up to when they use the word "reckless" here. That is why I will consider the amendments again, and there is a considerable likelihood that I will—carelessly or recklessly—bring them forward at Report. The noble Lord will then have a chance to debate them in the Chamber.
