Political Parties and Elections Bill

The noble Baroness is suggesting that the Electoral Commission has an answer to this in the sense of what would be an appropriate amount of time. Therefore, if it is open ended, why should it differ from one individual case to another? Why cannot there be a simple, set time in the Bill to which people would have to advert? That seems a more sensible step than the open-ended approach which is being proposed at the moment. I will be interested to hear the Minister’s reply to that.
