Political donations, registered interests and disclosed meetings

← All evidence databases

Inspect six donor-to-interest identity links and three unlinked meeting profiles, alongside a complete DESNZ quarterly return. No verified donation-to-ministerial-meeting match is asserted.

Coverage: 9 selected organisation profiles and 14 events: six verified donor-to-parliamentary-interest identity links and three meeting-only profiles. No verified donation-to-ministerial-meeting match. The complete DESNZ quarterly return is a separate companion dataset.

This is a bounded pilot of explicitly supported connections to our existing finance snapshot. Names alone do not establish identity. Company and individual donations remain separate unless a particular relationship has evidence. Registered financial interests are not meetings. A donation and a meeting do not establish a bargain, improper influence or causation. Ministerial returns have exclusions and publication lags, so this is not a complete account of access. No access records are added to donation totals.

Findings from release 1.1

Six supported donor-to-parliamentary-interest identity links; no verified donation-to-ministerial-meeting match. The nine-profile pilot contains seven parliamentary-interest events and seven meeting events. These are selected examples, not a cross-party or cross-government census.

The new companion reproduces every row of the DESNZ April–June 2026 ministerial-meetings return: 166 disclosure rows, 163 dates within the stated quarter and three source dates printed as April 2016. The latter remain flagged, not repaired. A row can cover several organisations or meetings, so 166 is not a count of unique meetings.

Inspect the complete return and its date anomalies. No donor joins are inferred from these source labels.
