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

Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill.

What is the reasoning for halving the expenditure threshold from £10,000 to £5,000 in England but more than halving the threshold in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland? Our threshold has been reduced

from £5,000 to £2,000. Unless my maths escapes me, our figure is less than half what it was. What is the justification for doing that?
