Committee on Standards in Public Life: Political Party Finance: ending the big donor culture
R13-2
Published November 2011
Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Private companies donating to political parties should declare their ultimate ownership and be able to demonstrate that their owners would be permissible donors if they had given the same money directly. A controlling shareholder’s share of any corporate donations, when added to any personal donations, should not be allowed to exceed the £10,000 cap.
