Political Parties: Finance
Asked by: Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour - Life peer) Friday 18th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage on 2 September (HL Deb col 118), what estimate they have made of the total value of the donations under investigation by the Electoral Commission in the years 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26. Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Electoral Commission is operationally independent of Government and is responsible for regulating political finance and conducting investigations into potential breaches of the political finance framework. In line with its Enforcement Policy, it may open an investigation where it has reasonable grounds to suspect an offence or other breach of the rules. Information on recently closed investigations is published by the Commission on its website. This information does not always include the value of the donation under investigation.

Epilepsy: Cannabis
Asked by: Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour - Life peer) Monday 19th October 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to seek an urgent agreement with the government of the Netherlands, similar to the arrangement made in 2021 for patients with NHS prescriptions, to ensure that patients with private prescriptions do not lose access to Bedrolite as treatment for their epileptic seizures. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The British Embassy in The Hague is in contact with the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to understand the reported changes affecting the manufacturer of Bedrolite and the potential impact on UK-based patients who currently rely on this product. The Government recognises the importance of uninterrupted access to medicines for patients, but clinical decisions regarding an individual patient will remain a matter for their responsible clinicians, who are best placed to assess and manage patient risk. |
