Cabinet Minister Baroness Warsi Admits Breaking Cash Rules

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: David Cameron suffered a fresh political blow last night when the Conservative party chairman admitted that she failed to declare a source of income for more than a year.

Baroness Warsi said did not tell House of Lords authorities that she was receiving rental income from a London property she had bought and rented out.

She made an apology today over the breach of parliamentary guidelines, blaming “an oversight, for which I take full responsibility,” but claimed that she had paid tax on the income.

The disclosure is the latest in a series of crises to hit Mr Cameron in the last few weeks. It comes as the political future of Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, is called into question once again. » | Saturday, May 26, 2012
