The Electoral Commission registers political parties and maintains the registers of political parties in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is independent of the Government and accountable to Parliament.<\/p>
The Electoral Commission publishes a database of registered political parties on its website. This includes whether a political party is also a campaigner.

No guidance has been provided on the rights of NDPB employees to raise concerns specifically about EU Exit. We would expect NDPB employees to be able to raise any such concerns through their organisation\u2019s existing systems, as they would any other issue that may affect them.<\/p>
<\/p>
Policy and products about whistle-blowing and raising a concern have been made available to Civil Service departments. The products include a specific policy and FAQs for employees of Non-Departmental Public bodies (NDPBs). The guidance encourages employees of NDPBs to report perceived wrongdoing within their organisation, including a breach of the organisation's core values. An employee should raise these types of concern with their line manager straight away. If the employee feels that it is not appropriate to raise a concern with their manager, they can raise it with another senior manager or directly with a Nominated Officer within their parent department. Concerns can be raised confidentially and investigations will be conducted sensitively and as quickly as possible.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/57", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Young of Cookham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-06T17:03:42.02Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Non-departmental Public Bodies"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what guidance, if any, they have given to employees of non-departmental public bodies about their rights to express concerns about the impact of Brexit on their ability to perform their roles successfully.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/547", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wigley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Wigley"} ], "uin" : "HL10976"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/621909", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/621909/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We do not expect there to be Barnett consequential payments arising from the third runway itself at Heathrow Airport, because the scheme is privately financed.<\/p>
<\/p>
Heathrow Airport Ltd has also pledged to meet the costs of any surface access proposals that are essential to deliver airport expansion. Where projects have wider public benefits, the Government will consider the need for additional public funding on a case by case basis in line with the Aviation Policy Framework. For any additional UK Government spending the Barnett formula will be applied in the usual way at the appropriate time.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/57", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Young of Cookham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-11-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-11-03T15:55:47.123Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Heathrow Airport"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what estimate they have made of the Barnet Consequential Payments to the devolved administrations arising from the proposed third runway at Heathrow Airport.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/547", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wigley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Wigley"} ], "uin" : "HL2715"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/621140", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/621140/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
