The commission’s investigation found the party failed to fully report a donation of £67,801.72 from Huntswood Associates Limited made in October 2020,most of which was used to fund the flat’s refurbishment.
“The party’s decisions and actions reflected serious failings in its compliance systems,” said the Electoral Commission’s Louise Edwards.
“As a large and well-resourced political party that employs compliance and finance experts,and that has substantial sums of money going through its accounts,the Conservative Party should have sufficiently robust systems in place to meet its legal reporting requirements,” she said.
Johnson’s seventh child,to this third wife,comes at a time when his premiership isunder intense scrutiny following a secret Christmas party held at Number 10 Downing Street at the height of last year’s lockdown.
