Samantha Dixon
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) sets out a comprehensive framework governing political donations and controls on permissible sources of funding. This includes provisions relevant to sponsorship and other forms of support provided to political parties.
