Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am extremely grateful. The noble Lord raised the question of enforcement. I understand the point about senior enforcement officers but the enforcement case will be heard at quite a junior level. The information and documents will be put together and the case will be assembled not at a senior level but by a series of junior members of the commission. As I understand the drift of what the Minister is saying, some senior people will be picked out and will probably be given a longer quarantine period. I may be wrong but I do not read in the Minister’s comments or body language that we are talking about adding to the quarantine period for those who deal with highly sensitive matters at quite a junior level.
