Wayne David
No doubt the Minister is convinced that I am determined to make mischief on the clause. I am sorry to disappoint him. I will not embellish the concern that some Conservative Members expressed to me privately, and one or two of them in the Chamber, that this might open the way for a new symbol to be adopted if there were joint Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates in an election. I will not go that way.
Sir Peter Bottomley (Worthing West) (Con)
What would happen to a Labour /Co-op candidate?
Wayne David
The hon. Gentleman pre-empts my next point. That is precisely what I want to refer to.
