Elections and Political Parties
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has consulted the (a) Conservative Party and (b) Labour Party on proposed changes to (i) electoral and (ii) political finance law since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The political finance and wider electoral measures set out in the Government’s Strategy for Modern and Secure Elections paper are building on long-standing, well-established recommendations from expert stakeholders across the electoral landscape.
In developing our measures, we have worked closely with key stakeholders. Following the publication of the Elections Strategy paper, we have engaged with a variety of stakeholders including the Parliamentary Parties Panel. We are keen to continue this important engagement with all stakeholders, including political parties, as we progress this work.
