CSPL · Political Party Finance: ending the big donor culture

R13-2

November 2011

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

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.
