PUBLICATION OF CONSTITUENCY PARTY AND CONSTITUENCY ASSOCIATION ACCOUNTS

Early day motion 1538, tabled 20 May 2009 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House welcomes the transparency afforded by the annual publication of the accounts of constituency parties and constituency associations; but notes with concern that substantial transfers of money to a constituency from the central party organisation are confidential and not in the public domain; and calls on the Government to bring forward measures requiring this information to be disclosed.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
