Proceeding contribution from David Clelland (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Political Parties (Funding).


Political Parties (Funding)

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the hon. Member for Eastleigh (Chris Huhne) has recently been pursuing his leadership campaign in the north-east, and that in doing so he has asked Durham police to look into certain planning applications without a shred of evidence that anything is amiss with any of them? Should the costs to Durham police of pursuing those investigations be considered to be a donation to the hon. Gentleman's election campaign or should he be prosecuted for wasting police time when nothing is found?
