Mendelsohn Knew ????

Abrahams makes proxy donor claim

Mr Abrahams' comments contradict the recollection of Jon Mendelsohn

A businessman has insisted Labour's chief fundraiser knew of his plans to give the party money using proxy donors and had said it was "a good idea".

In the Independent on Sunday, property developer David Abrahams repeats his claim that Jon Mendelsohn knew in April how he planned to make his donations.

Mr Mendelsohn said the allegations were "fictional" and that he only learned of the practice in September.

Gordon Brown has vowed to co-operate with a police probe into the affair.

'Immediate change'

The prime minister has also pledged to press ahead with an urgent review of party funding rules.
