Proceeding contribution from Martin Linton (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

Is not the problem that has led to the need for the amendment that the Conservative fundraising effort for many years has been directed not at people in this country, but at Spain, South Africa and Hong Kong? Is it not enough for the hon. Gentleman's party that people living in those countries should be able to give up to £7,500? People have often tried to give £1 million, £2 million or £3 million to the Conservative party. They will not be able to do so in future.
