David Cameron faces ruling on whether he broke fundraising rules

The Mail on Sunday had an exclusive about the ruling due this week on the use by David Cameron and other Conservative MPs of Parliamentary facilities to raise funds for their campaigns.

In short – the Tories broke the rules, but so many of them broke the rules they won’t all have to apologise individually:

David Cameron will this week face embarrassment as the Commons sleaze watchdog bans controversial fund-raising banquets which net the Tories up to £1million a year.

Standards commissioner Sir Philip Mawer will criticise the Conservatives for exploiting Parliament as a venue for dozens of dinners with the aim of filling local party coffers.

The full story is here.

Ironically, this was one Tory funding sleaze story I forgot to include in my round-up of the numerous investigations taking place into their financial affairs.
