The Metropolitan Police has refused to confirm whether it will answer demands to investigate the Conservative Party over the ‘cash for peerages’ scandal.
Over the weekend, openDemocracy and The Sunday Times revealed how Conservative treasurers who donate £3m to the party seem almost guaranteed a peerage. Fifteen of the past 16 treasurers have been offered seats in the Lords, having each given at least this amount.
A former Conservative Party chairman admitted: “Once you pay your £3m, you get your peerage.”
