Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am sympathetic to the sentiments that the hon. Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew) expressed a moment ago. Notwithstanding reasonable Government concerns about the practicalities and enforceability of Lords amendments 11 and 12, does the Secretary of State share the public concern, as well as that in the House, about the need to restrict the definition of "permissible donors", and to exclude people from abroad who do not participate properly and fully in our tax system? We could thus exclude people such as Lord Ashcroft, who has bankrolled the Conservative party for many years. That abuse of the electoral system must be stopped, and stopped quickly.
