Political Parties and Elections Bill

I do not think that the hon. Gentleman has grasped the central point, which is that the Lord Ashcroft money is party expenditure and not necessarily candidate expenditure. All that Lord Ashcroft, or someone acting in the same way, needs to do to evade the measure in the Bill is not to mention the candidate's name. Everything that the hon. Gentleman has cited will still apply, but will not be covered by the Bill.
