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

As a former Chief Whip, the noble Lord will recognise that there will be limited debate with Members of the Liberal Democrats who trooped into the Lobby on a three-line whip. But there was very careful consideration perhaps given by those who were offered a free vote and therefore chose to express their vote in one way or the other.
