Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 December 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Transparency does not deal with the problem that I am referring to. If I can exaggerate to make my point—and I will—suppose that someone said, ““I’ve got £20 million. I want to spend it on this referendum, and I’m going to slot it through, by way of various systems, into the campaign””. Transparency might well reveal that, but that does not deal with the problem. What is going to stop it?
