Political Parties and Elections Bill

In that case, I was not sufficiently familiar with the Bill. I hope not to irritate my erstwhile Conservative friends too much, but a trade union is a collective of British resident taxpayers and therefore I cannot see why it would not fall within the ambit of the amendment. Nevertheless, I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Henley, and the Front Benches generally can reach agreement on this matter. I look forward to the answer on my European point and support these amendments in general.
