Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)
My Lords, further to the questions from the Liberal Benches, would they not carry more credibility if their party had not taken £3.5 million from a fraudster who is a fugitive from justice? Any respectable political party would have paid that money back.
Baroness Penn (Con)
My Lords, all political parties should seek to abide by the rules and, if they have not, they should definitely return the money that they owe.
