HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 cc380-1W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Prime Minister what changes the Government have introduced since 1979 affecting the way companies may make political donations.

The Prime Minister

Companies legislation has since 1967 contained a requirement that a company's directors should disclose in their report, which forms part of the accounts, any gifts of money for political purposes if the amount exceeds a specified sum. The specified sum was increased from £50 to £200 in 1980.
