Conclusion
The Representation of the People Bill does not include strong enough safeguards to prevent UK subsidiaries donating on behalf of foreign parent companies or wealthy individuals. There are further loopholes enabling donors to receive large sums of foreign money in connection with a donation and not declare it. And it has missed opportunities to amend the terminology on donor and recipient due diligence responsibilities, which currently hamper law enforcement from launching adequate investigations and bringing prosecutions. (Conclusion, Paragraph 90)
