Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am sure that the noble Lord will confirm that, when it is suggested that that is being done in response to trade union effort, there is no great organised trade union effort in certain constituencies that are under attack in this way. Liberal candidates are under attack, but the relationship between the Liberals and the trade unions is not what it is between the Labour Party and trade unions, so it is unreasonable to suggest that Liberals are acting in that way.
