Political Parties and Elections Bill

Let us take, for instance, a constituency where a Conservative Member of Parliament has £90,000 in allowances and a £10,000 communications allowance, the Labour candidate has a few thousand pounds and the Liberal Democrat candidate has even less. What will happen in those seats? Is that a level playing field? If the noble Lord is considering level playing fields, how will we make up this money? How can we have a level playing field while there is that inequality?
