answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2022 answer text <p>UK electoral law sets out a stringent regime of donations controls that bans foreign donations. Individuals must be on the UK electoral roll to make political donations; in the case of companies, they must be UK-registered and properly carrying on business in the UK. There is only a very limited exception to this, whereby for political parties registered in Northern Ireland, permissible donors also include Irish sources provided they meet prescribed conditions. The Government is strengthening the corporate transparency regime, which will support the donations regime. The Elections Act 2022 further closes potential loopholes on foreign spending.</p><p>By contrast, the (Labour-led) Welsh Government and (SNP-led) Scottish Government have facilitated donations by foreign citizens in British politics, by extending the devolved franchise to all foreign nationals living in Wales and Scotland respectively.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 25/05/2022 10:58:09 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien previous answer version 2269 answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2021 answer text <p>The Government has committed to increase investment in infrastructure for the benefit of the whole of the UK. As part of this, we will invest £760 million to deliver the next phase of East West Rail, reinstating direct rail services between Bicester and Bletchley and creating 1500 skilled jobs. Local areas in the South East will also benefit from the Government’s landmark £5bn commitment to support the rollout of gigabit connectivity in the hardest to reach parts of the country and our ambition for the majority of the population to have access to a 5G signal by 2027. Furthermore, in 21-22 we are investing £14.6 billion in research and innovation grants and facilities across the UK, backing the priorities set out in the UK Government’s Research and Development Roadmap. The Government welcomes any endeavour that aims to support innovation and ‘build back better’, including the initiatives of the Innovation Corridor to link opportunities in the South East.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 27/05/2021 14:18:20 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
