Cameron presses Labour on funds

Mr Cameron said it was 'incredible' Labour officials did not know the law David Cameron

Tory leader David Cameron says Labour has been either "utterly dysfunctional" over donations to the party or the whole truth has not come out.

He questioned Labour's chief fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn's claim he only knew of David Abrahams use of proxy donors in September but did not tell MPs.

Lib Dem Chris Huhne has spoken to Durham police to raise concerns about a planning deal involving Mr Abrahams.

Labour's Scotland leader is also under pressure over an unlawful donation.

During his last monthly media conference of the year, Mr Cameron queried the behaviour of Mr Mendelsohn in the row over Labour's donations.

I deeply regret the damage which recent publicity has brought to the Labour Party. However, I reject any suggestion of intentional wrongdoing on my part Wendy Alexander Scottish Labour leader Q&A: Donations row Row: Day-by-day

"We are being asked to believe that Mendelsohn was hired by Gordon Brown, that he found out about these secret donations," he told reporters.

"He somehow thought it was legal, but at the same time was deeply unhappy about it but told nobody.

"Either this organisation is utterly dysfunctional or we are not being given the whole truth."
