Recommendation (the Committee's words)
There should be established a Policy Development Fund, initially of no more than £2 million per annum, to enable the political parties to engage more fully in policy development. The fund should be administered by a politically neutral body, to which the parties should be accountable for the monies spent. (p 93)
