The Representation of the People Bill contains inexplicable deficiencies on corporate donations.
Recommendation
The Representation of the People Bill contains inexplicable deficiencies on corporate donations. We support limiting donations to those carrying out meaningful activity in the UK. However, the Bill contains a loophole, which would allow companies to donate the upper limit of their UK-generated revenue hundreds of times over to individual MPs and candidates. That needs fixing. (Conclusion, Paragraph 76)
