My amendment is a modest one. It is reasonable and essential. It simply asks that Clauses 58, 59 and 60—which we debated earlier, all of which pertain to union political funds—should not come into force until, first, a comprehensive impact assessment is laid before Parliament, secondly, a clear public plan is published, outlining measures to ensure member consent, transparency and safeguards, and, thirdly, a Written Ministerial Statement is produced specifying the oversight and audit mechanisms that will govern these political funds under the new regime.
