Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
On making a donation above the permissibility threshold donors should be asked to certify: • If an individual, that they are on a permitted electoral register and that the donation is their own money and does not breach the donation cap. • If a company, that they are carrying out business in the UK and have generated enough income from UK trading to cover the donation. If part of a group of companies, they should also certify that the donation would not breach the cap when added to donations from any other company within their group.
