Lord Speaker’s Statement

Contribution

My Lords, before inviting the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, to ask his Private Notice Question about the funding of political parties, I remind the House that no direct reference should be made to the criminal case currently before the Scottish courts of His Majesty’s Advocate v Peter Murrell. Noble Lords are of course free to discuss the general issue, but the specific case remains sub judice as sentencing is due to take place on 23 June.
