Schedule 1
Political Parties and Elections Bill
7:45 pm
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Huntingdon, Conservative)
The Minister has said that he will review the need for judicial oversight and the form of the warrant process. I am grateful for that. It is necessary given the current state of the clause. He also said that he would discuss with the Electoral Commission whether the US civil-type approach would be suitable. That would be helpful too. I am also pleased that he will be taking up my questions on his amendment with the Electoral Commission and I should be grateful if he would circulate its reply to the Committee. That would be important for our later deliberations. On that basis I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
