Political Parties and Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Political Parties and Elections Bill.
I appreciate that the unions split from the Liberal party in 1906, which is some time back, but the 1984 law, as amended, is quite precise about the audit trail. Indeed, there is a bureaucracy, paid for by the taxpayer, to oversee it. The certification officer is backed by statute. The position in this country is unique, in that the law dictates how political involvement should take place, thereby creating that precise audit trail.
