answer text <p>Effective regulation and enforcement of political finance are crucial for maintaining public trust in our electoral systems and combatting the threat of foreign interference in our democracy. Which is why, as set out in our manifesto, the Government is committed to strengthening our democracy and upholding the integrity of elections. As part of this, the Government intends to strengthen the rules around donations to political parties to protect our democracy. My department is developing proposals to give effect to this commitment, and we will continue to work closely with the Defending Democracy Taskforce, of which MHCLG is a member, and the national security community on this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As set out in the Integrated Review and Refresh, the Government is committed to strengthening the UK's defences against state threats. The Home Office has an important role in the cross-government response. Through the National Security Act 2023, we have brought together vital new measures to protect our national security, which will enable our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to deter, detect and disrupt the full range of modern-day state threats.</p><p>I also lead the Defending Democracy Taskforce, which seeks to protect the democratic integrity of the UK from threats of foreign interference.</p><p>The Home Office also plays an active role in all aspects of protecting the UK’s economic security, including contributing to relevant National Security and Investment Act work which gives the government powers to scrutinise and intervene in business transactions, to protect national security, while providing businesses and investors with the certainty and transparency they need to do business in the UK.</p>
