Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to announce proposals to strengthen the rules on donations to political parties before the summer recess.

In line with its manifesto commitment, the Government is currently considering a series of policy interventions, such as enhanced checks by recipients of donations and tighter controls on donors, including more restrictions around company donations. This will help enhance the protections of our system against potential risks.

The Government plans to set out further details in its Strategy for Elections, which is expected to be published this summer.
