What Civometry computed from these records
Each item below is a CALCULATION: two or more register rows that name the same company, put side by side. The rows are linked at the end of each item. Nothing here is a finding.
The records establish: the Electoral Commission’s register records 6 donations totalling £94,816 from DLA PIPER UK LLP to Labour Party; the procurement registers record 2 contract awards to the same company with published values totalling £515,000, by NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL and UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED. The company is identified in both registers by its Companies House number.
The records do not establish why any donation was made or any contract awarded, that either side knew of the other, or that one had any bearing on the other. A donation is a lawful, reported transaction and a contract award is a published notice; no causal inference is made.
What this does not establish
The records above establish that DLA PIPER UK LLP and each entity named appear together in an official register, in the relationship that register records, on the date it records. They do not establish why any donation was made, why any contract was awarded, whether any one record was known to the people behind another, or that any record caused another. No causal inference is made on this page, and nothing here is a finding of any kind against anyone. A reported donation is a lawful, reported transaction; a contract award is a published notice; a seat is a seat.
The same name elsewhere in the records
A register spells another entry exactly as it spells this one. The graph keeps them apart because no register says they are the same, and a shared name is not evidence that they are.
