Book Description
This report responds to a complaint arising from a survey relating to local National Health Service (NHS) services in Mr Hunter's constituency of Cheadle and carried out by Mr Hunter and funded from his Communications Allowance (CA). There were three elements to the complaint: that the survey contained material that should not have been included in a CA funded survey; that it should not have been circulated outside the constituency; and that publicity for the survey in a newsletter funded and circulated by his local party in one part of his constituency amounted to exploitation of the survey for party political purposes. The Committee agree with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards that the survey included an incorrect imprint which suggested that it was party rather parliamentary in origin and that the CA should not have been used to distribute the survey outside Mr Hunter's constituency. They also agreed that, by themselves, the breaches were not so serious as to cause us to conclude that his survey should not have been funded from the CA

Book Description
The Committee's report examines the memorandum produced by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards on the outcome of his investigation of complaints against the conduct of Mr George Galloway MP; the text of the memorandum is included as an appendix to the report. The Commissioner's investigation focused on allegations published in a series of articles in the Daily Telegraph in April 2003 that Mr Galloway had received substantial undeclared personal financial benefits from the former Iraqi regime ran by Saddam Hussein by way of the UN Oil for Food programme, and that in doing so he had breached the Commons' rules on registration of interests and the Commons' Code of Conduct. The Commissioner's inquiry has been one of the most complex undertaken and of unparalleled duration, having been delayed by legal proceedings. The Committee's report finds that Mr Galloway's use of parliamentary facilities in connection with the Mariam Appeal went beyond what is reasonable and that he should have registered his interests in the Mariam Appeal and all donations it received above the specified threshold. It also finds that there is strong circumstantial evidence that the former Iraqi Government funded the campaigning activities of the Mariam Appeal, with the connivance of Mr Galloway, through the Oil for Food programme. In doing so, Mr Galloway breached the advocacy rule of the Code. However, the Committee finds that there is no evidence that shows whether Mr Galloway has 'directly and personally, unlawfully received money from the former Iraqi regime'. The Committee finds that, in light of Mr Galloway's conduct in the course of the investigation, including questioning the integrity of the Commissioner and the Committee, he has damaged the reputation of the House. It recommends that he apologise to the House and that he should be suspended from the House for 18 sittings days, starting after the Summer Recess.

Book Description
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards submitted a memorandum on his investigation of a complaint that Mr George Osborne failed to register certain donations in the Register of Members' Interests. These donations were made to the Conservative Party and used by the Party to support the cost of running his office as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. It became clear that many other members of the Shadow Cabinet used funds in this way, so this complaint has ramifications well beyond one entry in the Register. Mr Osborne believes that financial support received through a party to support work as a Shadow Minister does not constitute 'financial or material support as a Member of Parliament'. The Commissioner finds that there is no logical reason to differentiate between the different capacities in which MPs receive financial support, and upholds the complaint, but does not believe Mr Osborne should be criticised as the area was in need of clarification. He makes five recommendations which should regularise the position, and members of the Shadow Cabinet are given four weeks from publication of this report to amend their Register entries. The Committee agrees with the Commissioner's findings and recommendations.

Book Description
This report, (HCP 1212, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215525437), contains conclusions on two cases referred to the Committee on Standards and Privileges by other committees of the House. The first case involved the unauthorised disclosure of two papers prepared for the European Scrutiny Committee by its legal adviser on the mandate for the inter-governmental conference which led to the Lisbon Treaty, and appeared in an article in the Daily Telegraph on 26 June 2007. The second involved the unauthorised disclosure of parts of a draft report prepared for the Home Affairs Committee on the Government's counter terrorism proposals which appeared in the Financial Times on 5 December 2007. The Standards Committee accepts the view that the disclosure of such internal committee papers constituted a substantial interference in their work.

Book Description
This is the 18th report from the Committee on Standards and Privileges (HCP 1188, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215524942) on a complaint against Ms Dari Taylor MP, for Stockton South. The complaint against Ms Taylor, by Mr James Wharton of Stockton South Conservatives, concerned the possible misuse of stationery and postage provided by Parliament, for letters sent between August and October 2007. In total, six letters were sent, with the Parliamentary Commissioner reaching a separate conclusion for each letter, as to whether the letters represented an allowable use of Incidental Expenses Provision and of House of Commons stationery and postage. The case against two letters was dismissed. The Commissioner concluded that in three cases, official House of Commons stationery provided by the House and pre-paid envelopes were misused, and that in a fourth case, official House of Commons stationery purchased by Ms Taylor was misused. The Committee therefore agrees with the Commissioner's conclusions. The Committee further concluded, that they strongly deprecated the continued misuse by Ms Taylor of House stationery for political purposes and also expresses regret that Ms Taylor has continued to dispute parts of the Commissioner's findings and has offered no apology. In conclusion, the Committee states Ms Taylor should pay the House authorities the sum of £500 and sunmit an unequivocal written apology.

Book Description
This book explores the problems associated with regulating the funding of political parties and election campaigns in a timely assessment of a topic of great political controversy. From interest in Obama's capacity to raise vast sums of money, to scandals that have rocked UK and Australian governments, party funding is a global issue, reflected in this text with case studies from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Taking an interdisciplinary approach with leading scholars from politics, geography and law, this text addresses key themes: contributions, spending controls, the role of broadcasters and special interests, and the role of the state in funding political parties. With regulatory measures apparently unable to change the behaviour of parties, why have existing laws failed to satisfy the demands for reform, and what kind of laws are necessary to change the way political parties behave? The Funding of Political Parties: Where Now? brings fresh comparative material to inform this topical and intractable debate, and assesses the wider implications of continuing problems in political funding. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, political theory, policy and law.
