'Cash for Cameron': No action against Conservative party Treasurer Peter Cruddas According to The Sunday Times, Mr Cruddas believed that any prospective donations from the reporters would come from Liechtenstein and therefore be ineligible under election law. At the meeting, arranged by ex-Tory staffer turned lobbyist Sarah Southern, they were said to have discussed the creation of a British subsidiary and using UK employees to make the donation. Ms Southern was reported to have said that the party "will look at the criteria ... and as long as the money is coming from a legal UK-registered donor, or a legal registered UK company that is operating, then they'll normally be happy." In a statement, the Commission said that as the promised donation had been fake, then the law -the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act (PPERA) - had not been breached. However, Lisa Klein, director of party and election finance, added: "Although we have determined that there has been no breach of PPERA, we will meet with the Conservative Party to discuss issues identified during the course of our assessment. We will also be asking the party for the results of their own internal investigation. We will not be opening an investigation into the matter, however the police are assessing whether any other criminal offences, outside the Commission's remit, have taken place. A Scotland Yard spokesman said a complaint made regarding the case remained under assessment.
