The move comes after the Sunday Times published details of secret recordings in which former Tory co-treasurer Peter Cruddas told undercover reporters that they could secure private meetings with ministers – potentially to influence policy formation – if they donated more than £250,000 to the Conservative Party.
Cruddas resigned on Saturday in light of the report.
The Prime Minister has now pledged to publish a quarterly register of future meals at official residences with people who have donated more than £50,000 to the Tories.
He also called Cruddas’s comments “completely unacceptable” and insisted there would be an internal party inquiry into funding.
