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 Justice Secretary share my gratitude to the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) for making it absolutely, nakedly clear that this is a blatant piece of partisanship, which the Justice Secretary has been bounced into accepting by his Back-Bench colleagues? After all, he was reported in The Guardian only at the beginning of last week as having told members of the parliamentary Labour party that they were going to be whipped to vote against these amendments tonight. Just what has happened in the meantime to make him change his mind?
