Yesterday, the BBC reported:

Tory leader David Cameron and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg are among 14 MPs facing a reprimand for declaring donations too late.

The Electoral Commission notes a £7,285 helicopter flight donated to Mr Cameron in 2005 and six donations worth £14,490 to Mr Clegg, dating back to 2006.

MPs have to register donations over £1,000 within 30 days.

Last week, the BBC also wrote:

Political parties received £16.7m in donations in the final quarter of last year, the Electoral Commission says.

This is the third-highest amount ever, beaten only in the periods leading up to the 2001 and 2005 general elections.

The Conservative Party was given £9.8m between 1 October and 31 December 2007, while Labour received £5.5m.

The Liberal Democrats received £947,000, followed by the Scottish National Party on £144,000, the commission reported.
