Lib Dems to force vote on donation cap commission
Responding to reports by Politico that Burnham will not include a domestic cap on political donations when the elections bill return, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson Lisa Smart MP said:
“This is totally unacceptable and leaves our democracy dangerously exposed. Liberal Democrats will force the donation cap commission to a vote when the bill returns and we expect many Labour MPs will join us.”
