Treasury Appointment Raises Questions Over Unreported Labour Donations

Ian Corfield's senior Treasury role approved without watchdog being informed of his £20,000 Labour contributions.

Ian Corfield donated over £20,000 to Labour politicians, including current Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
The Civil Service Commission approved Corfield's appointment without knowledge of his donation history.
The Treasury is responsible for vetting candidates, but did not disclose Corfield's donations to the watchdog.
Conservative figures argue the appointment compromises civil service impartiality, calling for more transparency.
Labour has pledged to establish an ethics and integrity commission to address gaps in the current appointment process.
