Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (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 do not think we are saying that we particularly want to endorse it; we are saying that it is a reasonable, practical fact that money will be spent by political parties differentially between constituencies in order to achieve political advantage. That is part of the democracy in which we live and we should not seek to change it in the Bill.
