These estimates reflect the proportion of previously permissible company donations that may not meet the strengthened company donation rules; it does not assess whether individual donations are linked to foreign interference. These rules are designed to strengthen the integrity of the political finance system by ensuring that company donations are underpinned by genuine economic activity in the UK.
