I refer the right hon. Member to my answer of 21 November 2013, Official Report, Column 980-981W and my answer to him of 16 December 2013, Official Report, Column 443-444W.

I also refer him to the Written Ministerial Statement by my rt. hon. Friend, the Secretary of State (Eric Pickles) of 28 April 2014, Official Report, Column 35WS, which outlines the rationale for the steps taken on 17 April, and how we are prepared to take further action against other breaches of the Publicity Code.
