Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (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, I must have misunderstood what the Minister said, and I would be grateful if he would clarify it. The Appointments Commission, as we all know, is not yet subject to the Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Steel, which stipulates a statutory appointments commission, and deals in effect only with Cross-Benchers. Am I right that these Cross-Benchers are the people we are talking about?
