7. Letter to the Commissioner from
Rt Hon Peter Hain MP, 11 January 2008
I am writing to confirm that the enclosed is a full
declaration to the Register of Members' Interests of previously
undeclared donations to my Deputy Leadership campaign. In this
declaration I make clear the status of each donation. There will
be no further declarations of this nature.
I provided full details of donations reported late
at a meeting with the Electoral Commission yesterday. I was satisfied
with the meeting and attach a copy of the press statement issued
in response to media inquiries afterwards.
I would like to apologise to you and to the House
for failing to register these donations within the required time
limit. This is deeply regrettable and the result of administrative
and organisational failures in my campaign, for which I take full
responsibility.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have
any queries or if any .further information is required. I would
be more than happy to meet you if appropriate.
