Successive Governments have considered section 10 of the Political Parties and Elections Act 2009 to be unworkable<\/p>
There is already a robust legal framework in place to ensure only individuals that are registered on the electoral register and organisations that carry out business in the UK can
make donations to political organisations in the UK<\/p>
In May this year, the Government announced it will consult on strengthening the current provisions which protect UK politics from foreign influence. The consultation may consider
recommendations on foreign spending in elections and donations from shell companies.<\/p>"}
