Air Con: Do PPERA Schedule 7 Parts 5-7 Apply?

Evan Price, a Tory and a barrister who blogs his thoughts here, has kindly pointed me at Schedule 7 of PPERA which he says is the relevant one outside election periods. When it comes to "Value of Donations" this is not greatly different from the Schedule extract I published in my last post.

In Part I, 5 it appears to more or less repeat paras (1) to (5) of that extract. There is no para (6) which appeared to be like a mini Exec Summary reiterating the open market value point. In Part II, 6 and 7 it appears to underline the requirement for a donor to have permissible donor status, and to describe types of travel financing which constitute controlled donations.

Just now I cannot see anything here that (a) allows donations from offshore companies or (b) says travel donations needn't be declared at true market value.

At the time of writing I have not been able to get at the Electoral Commission guidance which Evan also pointed me at as the link was broken. Such guidance is of course only a quick gloss not chapter and verse anyway ...
