Political Parties and Elections Bill
1:00 pm
Michael Wills (Minister of State, Ministry of Justice; North Swindon, Labour)
Thank you, Sir Nicholas. In the spirit of helpfulness with which Government Members have approached the matter, we want amendments to be tabled as long as they are genuinely based on new information. We want to be helpful and will be as accommodating as possible on an informal basis, but only if there is genuinely new information. I am always prepared to be enlightened, but so far the discussion has been a recycling of familiar points on all sides. We have a useful memorandum, and there are genuinely new points that need to be considered. However, we will be as flexible as possible.
