In the Title
Amendment 125
Moved by Lord Bach
125: In the Title, line 2, leave out “and expenditure and” and
insert “, loans and related transactions and about political expenditure;
and to make provision”
Lord Bach: My Lords, as a result of amendments
that have been made since its introduction, the Bill
now deals in a more significant way than at the outset
with loans and other transactions regulated by Part 4A
of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums
Act. Therefore, this is a technical amendment to ensure
that the Bill reflects that in the Long Title.
Before moving the amendment, I take this opportunity
to thank noble Lords for their kindness in ensuring
that we finished the Report stage tonight. I also thank
the usual channels for their help. I beg to move.
Amendment 125 agreed.
House adjourned at 10.07 pm.
