Jenrick has said Reform’s £72m in donations is “entirely in line with law” as the government moves to alter the rules on political donations from British expatriates.
The issue centres on funding for UK political parties and the legal framework that governs who may donate. According to the supplied material, ministers are seeking to change the law relating to donations made by British expats.
Reform’s donations have been placed in focus because of the reported £72m figure. Jenrick’s position is that those donations comply with the law as it currently stands.
No further details were supplied on the proposed legal changes, including when they may be introduced, what restrictions or requirements they may contain, or how they could affect future donations to political parties.
The latest known position is that the government is pursuing changes to donation rules involving British expats, while Jenrick maintains that Reform’s existing donations are lawful under the present system.
