Lord Douglas-Miller (Con)
The Government have a very large budget for this spending period—£5.2 billion—and we are about half way through that process at the moment. The future funding arrangements will be subject to a funding review at the end of this period.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, can the Minister tell the House what can be done to stem the flood of Tory donors to the House of Lords?
Lord Douglas-Miller (Con)
I am not sure why we would want to do that.
