Peerages for money in the UK

The story is basically as above , problem is that the Labour Party has kept it quiet and not told the overseeing body as they are claiming they didnt need to as the cash came in as commercial loans - thereby obviating naming the Partys' benefactors .

The story appears to be a storm in a teacup at first sight , although the Press is having a bit of a field day about it .

The story that will be emerging soon , however, is how many of these 'loans' were forgiven and thus never paid - The Media has to be asking these questions soon and they've years to investigate . Its curious how many MPs are saying NOTHING isnt it ?
