Proceeding contribution from Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (Green Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 June 2026. It occurred during Private notice question on Donations to Political Parties.

Donations to Political Parties

My Lords, in 2011 the Committee on Standards in Public Life recommended that the amount that any organisation, individual or institution can give in political donations should be limited. It is now 15 years later. A few years ago, the noble Earl, Lord Howe, said from the Front Bench that, hypothetically, he agreed that there should be some kind of limit on the percentage of funding that one party should be able to get from one individual donor. Will the Government act after all this time?
