The Electoral Administration Act 2006 amended the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 to apply similar rules of transparency and permissibility to loans as already applied to donations. The 2006 Act also made some minor technical amendments relating to the control of donations. The Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 made amendments to the 2000 Act in order to align the rules for donations more closely with those that apply to the rest of the United Kingdom.
I have received no recent formal representations in my capacity as Secretary of State for Justice on the operation of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000.
