Today, the Government published its response to the Committee's report on election finance.
In response, Lord Evans said:
"We welcome the Government's prompt initial response and further consideration of the recommendations we made in our report on election finance.
Our recommendations are a package of practical measures to modernise and build greater integrity into the regulation of election finance.
Our report reiterated our strong belief in the value of an independent regulator, insulated from political pressures and at arm's length from the government.
We will maintain a close interest in these matters as the Elections Bill is debated and looks forward to the Government's further analysis of the impact of our recommendations."
