Recommendation
The Government should review options to reduce the risk of foreign money entering UK political finance via individual donors whose primary long- term residence is overseas. For example, individual donors whose primary residence is overseas could be required to have UK financial assets registerable with HM Revenue and Customs for the past 12 months which are sufficient to cover the cost of their donation. This would broadly mirror the Bill’s other requirements for corporate donors to have generated sufficient money in the UK. (Recommendation, Paragraph 103) Source of funds
