Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way. He is so enthusiastic about this Bill. May I invite him to come to Northern Ireland, where I am sure everyone listens to every word he utters and takes it seriously? This Government are passing legislation in Northern Ireland to continue giving anonymity of political donations to political parties, yet we have wonderful charities in Northern Ireland that will be criminalised

under this Bill if they happen to organise a rally or campaign in the run-up to an election. How can he square those two things?
