Party Funding debate

27th March 2012

Following the Government statement on Party Funding, Margot James seeks confirmation that no policy has been changed by private lobbying.

Margot James (Stourbridge) (Con): Will my right hon. Friend confirm that no such policy committee as described by Mr Cruddas exists at No. 10 and that there is no evidence that any policy has been changed by private lobbying, unlike the shameful record of the last Government?

Mr Maude: It is completely impossible for any policy to be changed in that way. Policy in the coalition Government has to be agreed not just by Conservative Ministers but collectively with Conservative and Lib Dem Ministers, so the idea that there is a direct route from Conservative party donors to policy change is absolutely absurd.
