Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (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
The Minister will be delighted to know that I do not intend to oppose any of these amendments. He has made a good case for the Government's changing their mind yet again on how the electoral commissioners with political experience should be appointed or elected. It is extraordinary that we started with one position in the Bill, then the Government tabled an amendment to which we agreed, and then suddenly last week in the House of Lords the Government tabled another amendment and the Bill was amended again. In the interests of openness, democracy and time, I will agree with the Minister.
