Tories demand investigation into Lisa Nandy over failure to disclose donations from head of new football regulator
Lisa Nandy admitted failing to disclose £2,900 in donations from David Kogan, breaching public appointment rules and prompting calls for further investigation.
- On Sunday, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy apologised for failing to declare donations from David Kogan, her preferred pick for England's Independent Football Regulator, telling BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg `We didn't meet the highest standards- that is on me.`
- The report found two £1,450 gifts in 2020 to Nandy's leadership campaign from David Kogan, each falling just below the £1,500 declaration threshold.
- Nandy recused herself from the appointment interview process after donations by David Kogan, a LabourList director not on the original shortlist, came to light.
- Sir William Shawcross found the October appointment of David Kogan breached the code three times, and Conservatives called Nandy's actions `a serious breach of public trust`, urging further inquiries.
- The report flagged 33,410 in donations by David Kogan and his company to Labour, with Kogan stating he had never been `aware of any deviation from best practice`.
