Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am grateful to the Minister, but why then cannot it be put in the letter to the individual to whom the disclosure notice is served that they should respond in a reasonable time? Of course, that will not happen—a specific time will be put down, because that will be judged as fair and reasonable. What would be appropriate would be to put down some marker as a time limit and a period within which would be appropriate. The Minister does not think that that is reasonable; he thinks that reasonable is sufficient. We will not press the matter at this point, but the point has been made and it stands. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 6 withdrawn.
