HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 c2217
54. Mr. ANDERSON

asked whether, in view of the growing opinion that secret party funds lead to political corruption, the lack of independence among numbers of Members, the buying of honours, and the lowering of the prestige of Parliament, he will introduce legislation to abolish all secrecy in respect of the money subscribed to political parties, and to compel the publication of a balance-sheet showing now all the moneys have been raised and expended?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can add nothing to my previous replies on this subject.
