Political Parties: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Parliamentary Parties Panel has been consulted by his department on how the Government intends to respond to the Rycroft review report; and how the Government plans implement the proposals that the Government has already accepted from the review.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The Government has had discussions with the Electoral Commission’s Parliamentary Parties Panel to seek their views on the recommendations made in the Rycroft Review and the practicalities around implementing them.
The Government is committed to responding formally and in full to the Rycroft Review in advance of the Commons report stage of the Representation of the People Bill. As part of this, the Government will continue to engage across the sector, including with the Parliamentary Parties Panel.
