Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.

Political Parties and Elections Bill

My Lords, I have one question. The noble Lord, Lord Bach, has been saying repeatedly that this will not be used for investigatory situations but the Bill is unclear because it all comes under proposed new Schedule 19B, entitled "Investigatory Powers of Commission" at page 38. I support what my noble friend asked a moment ago. How on earth will one tell what the commission thinks it is doing?
