Clause 14
Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill
11:45 am
David Hanson (Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office; Delyn, Labour)
I shall try to assist the hon. Lady. In practical terms, the amendments would allow Great Britain parties, regulated donees and others to receive foreign donations from Northern Ireland parties as a back-door route during the disapplication period, because of the lack of regulation in Northern Ireland during that period. That is the purpose of the provisions.
