Donations

Asked if the Prime Minister thought the police should be informed, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister thought, as he had made clear on numerous occasions in the House, that this was a matter for the Electoral Commission who are reviewing the matter. Asked whether the Prime Minister thought it was a matter for the Electoral Commission due to a fixed procedure or just because he thought it was the appropriate way, the PMS said that the Prime Minister thought it was the role of the Electoral Commission to examine matters of this kind and that’s what they were doing.

Asked if there had been any contact from the police, the PMS said that as far as he was aware, there hadn’t been any contact.

Asked if the Prime Minister had been involved in the NEC meeting that afternoon, the PMS said he would check, but not as far as he was aware.

Asked if the Prime Minister had spoken to Lord Triesman about his knowledge of the matter, the PMS replied that the question fell into the category of a political matter as well as private discussions held by the Prime Minister so he was not able to answer the question. Asked if the Prime Minister still had confidence in Lord Triesman, the PMS replied that he clearly did.
