176.Paragraph 1 contains definitions of words and phrases used in the schedule and also sets out which individuals and organisations are permissible donors for referendum purposes. It should be noted that in this Act, unlike in the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, Scottish Partnerships (paragraph 1(2)(l)) are separately identified. This Act was drafted in this way, not because Scottish Partnerships were not permissible donors under the 2000 Act, but for clarity and ease of understanding in the Scottish context.
