Question

To ask the Right hon. Member for Kenilworth and Southam, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, pursuant to the answer of 23 March 2026, to Question 120977, on Political Parties: Finance, what guidance the Commission has given on whether a donation made by a personal services company should be treated as a donation from a company or the underlying personal donor.

Whether this should be treated as a donation will depend on the intention of the donor and who receives the donation. If the donor intends to give to the recipient via the personal services company, and the recipient has access to the donation, then the Commission’s advice is to treat this as a donation from the underlying personal donor.

The Electoral Commission has issued guidance on arrangements where donations are made via third parties.
