My answer to the hon. Member is, no. If the donations are large, as he will know, the law would require disclosure. It is up to individual shareholders if they wish to ask questions on the subject. This is a matter we have discussed in this House many times and the position is clear and well known. I fail to see why companies under attack should not have the right to defend themselves.
