108: Clause 68, page 47, line 14, leave out second “principal” and insert “power”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment and Lord Sharpe’s other amendment to Clause 68(1) restrict the definition of foreign influence arrangements to arrangements with foreign powers.
109: Clause 68, page 47, line 17, at end insert—
“(1A) Where the foreign power is a specified person, the arrangement is not a foreign influence arrangement to the extent that it relates to political influence activities that are relevant activities for the purposes of section 64.”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment prevents overlap between foreign activity arrangements required to be registered under Clause 64 and foreign influence arrangements required to be registered under Clause 68.
110: Clause 68, page 47, line 19, leave out “10” and insert “28”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment increases the time limit for registering a foreign influence agreement after it has been made.
110A: Clause 68, page 47, line 21, leave out “made before” and insert “which is made before, and which continues to have effect on,”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment clarifies that the requirement to register foreign influence arrangements entered into before Clause 68 comes into force does not apply to arrangements which have ceased to have effect when the Clause comes into force.
