ANNEX A
Letter to the Parliamentary Commissioner
for Standards from Mr Peter Ainsworth MP
I enclose a press cutting related to donations allegedly
made by Mr Greg Dyke to the offices of Dr Marjorie Mowlam and
Dr Jack Cunningham when they held the National Heritage brief
in the last Parliament.[2]
Having checked the Register of Members interests for the relevant
periods, I can find no reference to this support. As you will
see, the information about these donations appears to have come
from Mr Dyke himself.
I wrote on Wednesday 16th June to Dr Mowlam and Dr
Cunningham asking whether the information was correct and if so
on what basis it was decided that no disclosure was required;
I have to date received no reply, and feel it best, therefore,
to refer the matter to you to see whether you believe that there
is a prima facie case for further investigation.
I would also welcome clarification of the disclosure
requirements in relation to the donation to Mr Blair's leadership
campaign.
I look forward to hearing from you.
