Donor's business park plan probed
David Abrahams
Mr Abrahams has said he never sought any favours from Labour
Ministers have promised to look into the details of a planning application made by Labour donor David Abrahams.

Communities Secretary Hazel Blears said she would liaise with other departments over the details of Mr Abrahams's plans for a business park in County Durham.

Her Tory shadow, Eric Pickles, said Mr Abrahams applied using the names of two employees and urged a review of rules.

An inquiry has begun into donations Mr Abrahams made to the Labour Party under the names of four associates.

Prime Minister has said the donations, which amount to more than £600,000 and were made over four years through four different people, were unlawful, "completely unacceptable" and would be repaid.

'True identity'

In the Commons, Mr Pickles said two of the people whose names were used for donations - Ray Ruddick and Janet Kidd - were also listed as directors of Durham Green Developments, which applied to build the 540-acre business park south of Durham City, near junction 61 of the A1.
