Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (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, indeed not. It was suggested that the House of Lords Appointments Commission’s method of proceeding was a way that Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs could proceed. However, the numbers are vastly different—that is the point at issue. There are very few people each year who apply to join the House of Lords compared to the large number of people who make donations to political parties, so it would not be an easy job for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to supply answers, whereas it is comparatively easy for it to do so for those who apply to join the House.
