Written evidence received by the Parliamentary
Commissioner for Standards
1. Letter to the Commissioner from Rt Hon
Peter Hain MP, 5 December 2007
Deputy Leadership campaign donations
As you may be aware, I issued a public statement
on Monday announcing that, following a review of all donations
to my Deputy Leadership campaign, I had informed the Electoral
Commission that further donations to my campaign had not been
registered as they should have been.
These donations need to be declared on the Register
of Members' Interests, as well as being registered with the Electoral
Commission.
I announced on Monday that I was preparing a full
declaration to the Electoral Commission. I am writing to notify
you that I will at the same time be making a similar declaration
to you. I will provide you with this information as soon as possible.
The fact that these donations were not declared as
they should have been is extremely regrettable, and I apologise.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss this matter
with me.
