question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will ensure that the legislation to allow for the publication of all donations and loans received by Northern Ireland parties on or after 1 July 2017 will also include provisions to allow the Electoral Commission to retrospectively publish details of donations and loans received by Northern Ireland parties since January 2014.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>I wrote to the political parties in January seeking their views on this issue and, while there was broad support for the future publication of donations and loans, only one party expressed support for backdating publication to 1 January 2014. Having considered the representations of the parties, I did not believe it right to impose retrospective regulations on those who donated in accordance with the rules set out in law at the time. The secondary legislation to give effect to full transparency which I propose would therefore apply to donations and loans received on or after 1 July 2017.</p><p><br></p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 10/07/2017 16:40:37 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
