Election Spending

EDM number 1407 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Flynn on 25/04/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Political parties and Election expenditure.

That this House calls for a thorough investigation by the police into allegations of falsely declared election spending by the Conservative Party and its candidates in 30 constituencies in the 2015 General Election and in three by-elections in 2014 as alleged by Channel Four News; and urges prosecutions, if the evidence supports the allegations, in order to protect the integrity of election laws that seek to deter unfair excessive spending by political parties.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
