CALLS FOR MUNDELL TO HAND OVER ELECTION ACCOUNTS

CALLS FOR MUNDELL TO HAND OVER ELECTION ACCOUNTS

Commenting on reports that David Mundell, Scotland's sole Tory MP, is
facing an inquiry into his election expenses, SNP South of Scotland
MSP Aileen Campbell said the Scotland Office Minister must account for
the discrepancy in his campaign spending.

Ms Campbell said:

“David Mundell must explain this discrepancy and hand over his
accounts to allow a proper investigation to take place into the
Tories’ campaign spending.

“The way the Tories have funded local campaigns with huge donations
from the likes of Lord Ashcroft is worrying enough, but to flout
election rules and limits is even more serious. As a government
Minister with responsibility for elections in Scotland, David Mundell
must explain these damaging allegations.”
