Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
My Lords, I thank my noble friend for that. It is absolutely clear that if a political party finds that money has come from a source that it should not come from then, yes, it has to give it back or give it to the Electoral Commission.
Lord Watts (Lab)
My Lords, are the Government acting on the advice of Russia and China in opening up a system that can be corrupted and would allow dodgy money to enter British politics?
Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
No, my Lords; absolutely not.
