Proceeding contribution from Lord Warner (Labour) 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, briefly, I support all those who have spoken in favour of the amendment in the name of my noble friend Lord Campbell-Savours. I have one very simple point to make. Over the past few months, we have heard from all the leaders of the political parties their undying commitment to cleaning up politics. If we collude in supporting this Bill without an amendment of the kind which my noble friend has moved, we are colluding in not cleaning up politics. We should support the amendment.
