The majority of MPs voted against imposing a maximum allowable donation from any person to any registered party of £50,000 per calender year.
This would have been done by adding a new Clause into the Political Parties and Elections Bill[1] that would (had it passed) changed the Political Parties, Elections and Referendum Act 2000 and inserted a new subsection into the part relating to "Permissible donors".[2]
Only four members of the Conservative Party chose to vote on this proposal.
