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

I am grateful to my noble friend for giving way, and for his kind words. However, would he not agree that there is a difference between somebody

who works for a charity or political party taking part in an election campaign as part of their normal job and somebody who is taken on to deliver leaflets? Political parties cannot take on people to canvass, because it is illegal to pay people to canvass, but a third-party organisation could do so. So if you pay people who normally do not work for you to deliver leaflets, surely that should be included.
