Political Parties and Elections Bill
10:00 am
Andrew Tyrie (Chichester, Conservative)
I did not participate in the informal sub-committee, so I am not privy to any of those alleged confusions, difficulties or complexities, but it strikes me that the crucial issue, if we are to make sense of the evidence sittings, is to be given enough time to think through how to translate the evidence that we have had into amendments. I am grateful, Mr. Cook, that you will bear starred amendments in mind. It would be hugely helpful if you could give us a feel later in our proceedings, but before Thursday, what your attitude will be on the specific issue of amendments derived from evidence that may have been collected only in the hours prior to what at the moment is the deadline.
