MPs Warn Of Political Funding 'Scandal'

The Government must take action to clean up party political funding before another "scandal intervenes", MPs have warned.

The MPs called on the coalition to stick to pledges to reform party financing "in order to remove big money from politics".

A 15-month inquiry by the Committee on Standards in Public Life proposed last year that a £10,000 cap on donations be imposed in a bid to end "cash for influence" scandals and corruption allegations.

Under the plans, this funding would partly be paid for by a £23m-a-year taxpayer subsidy.
