Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by the Minister of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (HC Deb col 340), what progress the cross-government task and finish team has made to address the impact of large donors on UK politics.

The Government recognises the importance of ensuring that the UK's political finance framework remains robust and commands public confidence.

We are establishing a cross-government task and finish team to consider the issues threatening UK democracy, including political funding, illegitimate influence, and broader threats to political equality.

Further details will be available in due course.
