Limit foreign funding of Parliament groups say MPs
Campaign groups formed by MPs and peers should be banned from accepting money from foreign governments to help with running costs, a watchdog has said.
The Commons standards committee fears " hostile foreign actors" could seek to gain " improper access and influence" through the All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs).
It has recommended new rules on APPGs that it wants ministers to back.
The government have been approached for comment.
If ministers are supportive, the government can introduce motions to Parliament and MPs will get the chance to debate and vote on them.
Last Year , MI5 " may aspire to establish APPG to further the Chinese Communist Party's agenda".
'Improve links'The standards committee has previously warned that without reform APPGs could be The Source of the " next great Parliamentary lobbying scandal".
The Committee does not want to ban the groups, or expenses-paid foreign trips by their members, arguing that they can enhance The Work of MPs and peers.
But it does want to improve transparency and accountability.
Unlike select committees, APPGs have no formal role in policy-making or holding the government to account and their funding can be opaque.
There covering a wide range of subjects including food banks, cyber security, yoga and wine and spirits.
Almost 140 groups Focus On Countries - for example the APPG for Bermuda has been Set Up with the purpose to " improve links and mutual understanding between Britain and Bermuda".
Most APPGs do not receive any funding but a growing number are sponsored by companies, campaign groups or charities to cover running costs and foreign trips.
Research conducted by The Bbc in 2021 found that the groups had received an estimated £30. 7m since 2017.
Around £6. 4m came from companies registered as lobbyists. Donations can include " benefits in kind" - for example The Donor could pay for a secretariat to help organise The Group .
'Mitigating risks'The standards committee has argued that APPGs enable better relations with other Countries , create a forum for developing ideas and provide " access to the political system for many organisations and individuals who might otherwise be excluded".
However, it also expressed concern that companies and foreign powers could use APPGs to buy political influence.
Under new rules suggested by The Committee , foreign governments would be banned from directly funding APPG secretariats, which assist with running the groups.
The groups would be able to take foreign government funding for benefits other than the secretariat, but this must be registered.
Those responsible for an APPG would also have to carry out due diligence on whether foreign governments are the " eventual funder" of secretariats, or other benefits.
The Committee also wants to introduce additional rules for groups which receive external benefits of More Than £1,500 in a calendar year, including a requirement to produce an annual report outlining The Work they have done.
Standards committee chairman Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant , who is vice-chair of the Russia APPG, said: " All-Party Parliamentary Groups are a valuable part of how Parliament does its work; but we cannot afford to ignore The Chilling risks some groups may pose if left unchecked.
" Parliament always has, and always will be a target for hostile foreign states and improper commercial interests.
" But with Better Regulation and transparency around these informal All-Party Parliamentary Groups, we can harness their positive contribution to our democracy while mitigating any risks. "
