00:00First of all, under UK law as it is, foreigners cannot make large or other donations to UK-based
00:07political parties. That is against the law in this country. But we are looking at, and
00:13we will be looking at, bringing in some new legislation at some point. It won't be immediate
00:18at some point, to look at donations and all the other elements that we need to protect
00:25and secure up to keep our democracy safe and robust and keep it, you know, have full
00:33integrity in it. So donations will be something we'll be looking at. It's in our manifesto
00:38that we'll look at party political donations. We've also got a number of other measures
00:44that will require legislation. For example, we want to bring in votes at 16. So that is
00:49something that in the course of the next whole parliament, you know, we will look at bringing
00:54in some kind of bill to look at these things. But, you know, just to reassure people that
01:01outside foreign donations to UK political parties is prohibited under UK law currently.
