I will now speak to Motion D and Amendments 72J and 72K, tabled by the Government in the other place, and Motion D1 and Amendments 72L to 72N and Amendments 72P to 72R, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Burns, relating to political funds. I thank the noble Lord, Lord Burns, for engaging with me and with my noble friend Lord Collins of Highbury on this important issue which I know is of great importance to him. The Government remain committed to repealing the Trade Union Act 2016, a commitment set out in the Plan to Make Work Pay, which we have a clear and substantial mandate to deliver.
