The Home Office is establishing a Foreign Influence Registration Scheme to increase transparency around foreign funding and lobbying activities that could affect UK politics and national security. The scheme requires registration of individuals and entities receiving foreign funding for political influence activities, with enhanced scrutiny for high-risk jurisdictions including China. The Lobbyists (Registration of Code of Conduct) Bill provides the legislative framework, addressing concerns raised by parliamentary committees about electoral resilience and overseas political donations.
