Blair targets Tory funds
Article Abstract:
The funding of the UK Conservative party will be investigated by the Nolan Committee on Standards in Public Life if the Labour party wins the next general election. There is great secrecy surrounding the sources of the Conservative party's funding, to the extent that this information is not even revealed to the party's Board of Finance. The Nolan Committee is currently investigating local government, but will be looking for new areas to investigate from spring 1997.

How 'Government Sources' massaged the message

Their efforts have included releasing briefs giving some details of Prime Minister Tony Blair's speech to the conference. They have also sought to influence the mood within the party itself in advance of votes on key issues such as university tuition fees.
