Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 May 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 all noble Lords who have contributed to the debate. It has been useful to try to tease out some of the concerns and anxieties. We share the overall objective that we need to have a transparent system with which the public have confidence. We are grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Marland, for the fascinating bit of information about the £70,000 portrait, but we were not told for what purpose it was bought. It may be the most expensive dartboard in history.
