Proceeding contribution from Lord Bates (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

That is the point that I am making. There needs to be some additional support, which many parties receive through their central funding. The Labour Party receives it very substantially, as I outlined yesterday at col. 190, when funds come from the trade unions into local associations where they are contesting particular key marginal seats.
