Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
It should be made a criminal offence to attempt to evade or render nugatory the statutory provisions which confine political parties to donations received from a permissible source. A specific provision should be made to cover possible abuse by the utilisation of UK subsidiaries of foreign corporations. (p 74)
