AV Bill

Asked if the Government was confident the Bill would reach the statute book by Thursday, the PMS said that the Bill was in the House of Commons today and should return to the Lords tomorrow. He added that it was still the Government’s intention that the Bill would get Royal Assent this week. Asked why the position on the Isle of Wight amendment had changed, the PMS replied that Government had listened to what the House of Lords had to say and was now willing to accept the amendment.

Asked why during a General Election campaign all parties have to set out from whom they have received donations, whereas campaign donations are not disclosed until six months after a referendum, the PMS said that existing rules were being applied to the AV referendum.
