Political Parties and Elections Bill

When my noble friend replies to the debate, perhaps he will answer this question. What happens if the person who has made the mistake that is subject to a penalty is a poor, impoverished person who is unemployed in some part of the United Kingdom, has no resources and whose defence is simply to say that he does not have any money and cannot pay? What is the position? How will the provision affect those who have very little?
