Government may cap UK political donations to limit foreign influence

"Labour is examining proposals to limit how much individuals and companies can donate to political parties as part of an effort to tighten the rules around money in UK politics."

"In a report to be published in the coming weeks, the Institute for Public Policy Research will recommend that ministers limit individual and corporate donations to political parties to 100,000 a year."

"At the core of this pledge is an aim to tighten protections around foreign interference in UK democracy, particularly in light of recent controversies surrounding political donations from abroad."

"Donation caps are among a number of measures the government is looking at as part of plans for an election and democracy bill in the next parliamentary session."
