Proceeding contribution from Lord Maude of Horsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.

Political Parties and Elections Bill

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise quite how offensive it is to suggest that the Opposition need time to get our act together, when the Government, on a matter of huge difficulty, which is the legislative equivalent of brain surgery, have produced six pages of amendments on the morning that these matters are to be debated in the House? To suggest that the Opposition need time suggests a lack of self-awareness that beggars belief.
