Elections: Subversion
- Question
-
What steps he is taking to prevent donations from groups or individuals based overseas from unduly influencing elections in the UK.
- Answer
-
UK electoral law already sets out a stringent regime of donations controls to ensure that only those with a legitimate interest in UK elections, such as UK electors or UK-registered companies, can make political donations.
Measures in the Elections Bill go even further to strengthen the controls against ineligible foreign spending on electoral campaigning.
