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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that political finance law cannot be changed for partisan advantage.

The Government is committed to safeguarding the UK electoral system. As set out in our Elections strategy paper, we are introducing tougher rules on political donations to protect UK elections, striking the right balance between safeguarding against foreign interference while making sure legitimate donors can continue to fund electoral campaigns.

Our reforms build on recommendations from expert stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission and the Committee on Standards in Public Life. Any proposed changes will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny through the Bill process.
