Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) 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, is it seriously the Government’s intention to suggest that the European Convention on Human Rights would restrict the prevention of an election from being bought by people who are not even resident in the European Union? The Minister has not answered in one respect my noble friend’s inquiry as to whether there is any legal justification or legal precedent for the astonishing assertions that he has made.
