Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Political Parties and Elections Bill.

Political Parties and Elections Bill

Of course I am not suggesting that. I am suggesting simply that within the minds of certain people within the Labour Party and the Government they might have thoughts of that sort. That is entirely a matter for them; I cannot comment on that. All that I am suggesting is that for some reason the Government want to make it absolutely impossible to bring this into effect before 2015, in effect. We believe that it might be possible for these provisions to be ready before that date. Whether that is the case I do not know.
