Labour had called for an investigation into Tory donations after claiming they had recorded gifts from defunct companies
The political party spending watchdog has confirmed there were “errors” on its part in recording donations from the Conservative Party in the name of a company that had been dissolved.
Labour chairwoman Anneliese Dodds wrote to the Electoral Commission this week asking it to “urgently investigate” two donations made to the Conservatives that “do not appear to comply” with the law as the firms attributed were no longer active in the UK.
But following a review, the commission said it had discovered that an “administrative error” was at fault in one instance.
