Labour boss quits over donations
Peter Watt
Mr Watt said he had resigned "with great sadness"
Labour general secretary Peter Watt has resigned following the revelation that a property developer made donations to the party via two colleagues.

David Abrahams, who gave more than £400,000 through associates, said Mr Watt's resignation was "sad".

Mr Watt told a meeting of officers of Labour's National Executive Committee he had known about the arrangement.

Under the law, those making donations on behalf of others must give details of who is providing the money.

'Highest standards'

In a statement, Mr Watt said he had always "prided myself on having complete integrity" but added that, as general secretary, he was legally responsible for the reporting obligations for the party.
