Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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
No, in fact, I said the opposite. That is why I differ from the hon. and learned Member for Torridge and West Devon, who is saying that the right to participate and the right to donate are absolutely linked. I am saying that they are not. That is my answer to the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Djanogly). I am not denying that people who go abroad have the right to vote, but I am saying that those who go abroad and then seek to change their tax status to reduce their liability distance themselves from monetary aspects of the political system of this country in a way that should lead to a restriction on their right to influence others through money.
