Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (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

I assume that the amendments relate not just to financial contributions but to benefit in kind. I have campaigned in American elections in the past, which would clearly have a cost. If an American student wished to come across here and campaign during the next general election for a Member of Parliament of whichever political party, would that be seen as a benefit in kind? Would it have to be registered somewhere?
