Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (Labour) 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
The hon. Gentleman suggests that parties might take the complicated step of asking to check people's tax returns. Currently, when he and his party receive a donation to the Huntingdon dining club, for example, do they check the donor's bank statements to see whether they have also donated to Ribble Valley dining club, for instance, or Horsham dining club, in order to ensure that the maximum amount currently allowed under criminal law has not been breached? I suggest to the hon. Gentleman that they do not.
