The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to publish a consultation on data sharing powers between relevant government agencies and political parties.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

Effective regulation of political finance is crucial for maintaining public trust in our electoral systems. The Government has committed to strengthen the rules around donations to political parties to protect our democracy. My department is developing proposals to give effect to these commitments and will make them public in due course.
