Political Parties: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the answer of 20 April 2026 to Question 124763 on Political Parties: Donors, how political parties and regulated donees can assess whether companies have sufficient revenue if the company is less than three years old.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The new rules will not exclude companies less than three years old. The three‑year period is intended as a window of time for assessing whether a company can demonstrate sufficient revenue; it is not an age‑based restriction. Companies may make political donations, provided they are able to demonstrate sufficient revenue and meet the other eligibility criteria set out in legislation.
