Representation of the People Bill

Contribution

Government new clause 75 and Government amendment 100 introduce targeted regulation-making powers to allow key political finance restrictions introduced by the Bill to be extended where appropriate. As drafted, a number of the Bill’s provisions apply specifically to registered political parties. These include the restrictions relating to donations and regulated transactions involving cryptoassets, the cap on donations made by, and transactions involving, overseas electors, and restrictions on donations made by transactions including companies and LLPs.
