Tory peer Baroness Warsi should 'face police inqury' There are serious questions to answer which is why I have written to the police to ask that an inquiry be undertaken. Lady Warsi denies any wrongdoing in relation to her expenses and finances. Last week, she asked the Lords Commissioner for Standards, Paul Kernaghan to look into the claims about her expenses. David Cameron has backed her, but some Tory aides are worried about the scrutiny she will face from Mr Kernaghan, a former police constable with a reputation for painstaking inquiries. Labour also raised questions about the presence of a business associate, Abid Hussain, on an official trip to Pakistan undertaken by the peer. Michael Dugher, a Labour frontbencher, compared the case with that of Liam Fox - who quit as Defence Secretary after his relations with a lobbyist breached the ministerial code. Mr Dugher wrote to the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Jeremy Heywood, urging him to investigate. "This looks like the Liam Fox/Adam Werritty case all over again - with ministers allegedly being accompanied on official trips by their private business associates," he said. Baroness Warsi has urgent questions to answer: were House of Lords rules broken in this case? What was Mr Hussain doing on an official Government trip in the first place? Was he security vetted and was his presence cleared by the Cabinet Secretary or by Number 10? Baroness Warsi said: "Neither I nor the Conservative Party nor the Government has ever met the costs of foreign visits by Abid Hussain." She also denied failing to register a business interests, insisting she had stuck by the rules for declaring shareholdings and directorships. The Sunday Telegraph reported that she failed to declare a controlling stake in a spice manufacturing firm with the House of Lords authorities.
