Some progress on party funding reform – comments please!
The adage "if you want to keep something secret, say it in the House of Commons" certainly extends to the Lords on Fridays, when Private Members Bills are taken. However, our team made significant progress last week in pushing the government to take seriously their own manifesto commitment "to continue to seek agreement on a comprehensive package of party funding reform". We have been plugging away at this by whatever means possible, including by initiating a special Select Committee on party funding reform last year, and by introducing my Political Parties (Funding and Expenditure) Bill last week. I opened the debate, and Chris Rennard and Ian Wrigglesworth both spoke too. We received support also from Labour Peer Larry Whitty, and from the Chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, Paul Bew.
