<p>The Transparency of Donations and Loans etc. (Northern Ireland Political Parties)
Order 2018 introduced transparency around donations and loans to political parties
in Northern Ireland from July 2017. The date set in the legislation for introduction
of the transparency regime followed a consultation process and represented a broad
consensus across the Northern Ireland political parties.</p><p><br> The Government
has no plans in place to legislate to facilitate the publication of pre-2017 data.
We are committed to undertaking an operational review to consider all aspects of the
operation of the donation and loans systems in Northern Ireland, to review whether
there might be a case for further reforms.</p><p><br></p>
