Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) 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 have only a sentence to add. I completely agree with the thrust of the amendments. The problem is that some constituencies are spending huge amounts of money and there has to be some control. I do not know whether that limit should be £50,000, although it is good enough for the moment. While the Government may reject the amendment today, I hope that they might consider matters further before Report. I completely support the principle.
