The Electoral Commission has launched a formal investigation into donations made to the Conservative Party by Lord Ashcroft's Bearwood Corporate Services.
According to figures on the Electoral Commission’s database this includes a £5,000 donation to Warrington South in April 2005 during the run-up to the General Election in May.
David Cameron should stop accepting all donations to the Conservative Party from Bearwood Corporate Services while such a serious investigation is going on. Lord Ashcroft is not just the Conservative Party's biggest donor, but sits in Central Office running their election campaign. It's time Cameron stopped ducking the issue of Lord Ashcroft's relationship with the Tory party and sorted out their shadowy funding arrangements.
People in Warrington are entitled to know whether the local Tories will agree to stop receiving any more money from Lord Ashcroft while this investigation runs its course.”
The Electoral Commission has launched a formal investigation into donations to the Conservative party that were channelled from overseas by Lord Ashcroft, the party’s deputy chairman.
