Political Parties: Cryptocurrencies

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 27 May 2026UIN 2791

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the National Crime Agency has received any Suspicious Activity Reports relating to (a) cryptocurrency donations to UK politicians or (b) donations to UK politicians from individuals with cryptocurrency assets.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

For confidentiality and operational security reasons, the National Crime Agency does not comment on individual Suspicious Activity Reports.

On 25 March the Government published the Rycroft Review into countering foreign financial influence and interference in UK politics. The Government has accepted the recommendation from the Review for a moratorium on the use of cryptoassets as political donations, and plans to table amendments to the Representation of the People Bill so that any political donations made via cryptoassets from 25 March 2026 must be returned.
