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

Will the noble Lord clarify something? Effectively, his problem is that this matter was not debated. Taking that point, does he accept that the other place has expressed a view, none the less, through a vote? Presumably, those honourable Members knew what they were doing when they went into the Division Lobby. They may not have had the debate that he seeks, but they have certainly expressed a view.
