Motion text
That this House expresses alarm at the exposure of UK democracy to the undue influence of an ultra-wealthy minority; notes that donations are uncapped meaning that two individuals have been able to give £72 million to one party in one week; further notes recent investigations reporting foreign money and impermissible donations entering UK politics; believes that this issue is of existential importance for the integrity of our democracy; calls on the Government to introduce a statutory cap on individual political donations as well as launching a cap on party spending limits outside of General Elections; regrets that the Government has not yet used the opportunity of the Representation of the People Bill to do so; and urges the Government to strengthen the Electoral Commission and police enforcement of electoral law.
