Recommendation 2
2
The governance and accountability arrangements for criminal enforcement of illegal political finance interference are inadequate.
Conclusion
The governance and accountability arrangements for criminal enforcement of illegal political finance interference are inadequate. Responsibilities and capabilities are dispersed across the Electoral Commission, the Metropolitan Police Service, Counter Terrorism Policing, MI5, the National Crime Agency, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, and regional police forces. There would be operational value in simplifying this set up. That would also probably help address worryingly low levels of public trust in the adequacy of enforcement. (Conclusion, Paragraph 46)
