Political Donations Bill

Labour will strengthen the rules around donations to political parties.

The bill's long title states it will 'make provision about a cap on political donations' and 'make provision about political donations made by foreign nationals through companies'. These provisions directly address strengthening rules around donations to political parties by introducing caps on donations and restricting foreign donations through companies. The promise was to 'strengthen the rules around donations to political parties' and the metric requires 'new rules on political donations enacted'. The bill clearly provides for new rules that would strengthen the regulatory framework for political donations.
