Committee on Standards in Public Life: Political Party Finance: ending the big donor culture

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
The need for continuing central reporting and publication of donations should be reconsidered as part of the post-implementation review. The Electoral Commission should consult on the best way of ensuring continued effective transparency under the new regime. Initially, the threshold for reporting donations to central parties should be reduced to £5,000. Reporting of donations above £1,500 to accounting units and regulated donees should continue.
