Lord Speaker’s Statement

Contributions

1. The Lord Speaker (Lord Forsyth of Drumlean)

   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.
