Tory candidate asked a parliamentary question about a company that donated £10K to him
David Morris MP

A CONSERVATIVE candidate has been accused of undermining “public trust” after accepting a £10,000 donation from a company about which he later asked a question in Parliament.

Morecambe and Lunesdale candidate David Morris asked a parliamentary question in October about regulations that might affect a £1.1 billion electricity project overseen by Aquind Ltd.

One of the company’s directors is Tory Party donor Alexander Temerko, while Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign manager James Wharton holds a paid advisory role in the company.
