The windfall is a gift from multi-millionaire property magnate and racing devotee Bill Gredley.
It s the second time in recent years that Gredley has replenished Hancock s coffers. In 2019, he handed him £25,000 as a contribution towards maintaining his constituency office.
This time, there appears to be no stipulation as to how his largesse is spent. The gift has been recorded in the MPs Register of Members Financial Interests.

Gredley was born in the East End of London to a dock-worker father and Irish mother. Aged six, he was evacuated at the start of World War II to Wales, where he lived with a miner and his family.
