Lancashire police have said they are ‘reviewing the available information’ after receiving a complaint about the Fylde MP.
Fylde MP Mark Menzies is alleged to have used donor funds to cover medical expenses and pay off ‘bad people’.
Lancashire police are “reviewing the available information” after receiving a letter from Labour chairwoman Anneliese Dodds regarding the case.On Friday, the whistleblower at the centre of the case – Mr Menzies’ former campaign manager Katie Fieldhouse – told The Times a senior Tory official said the party had received legal advice that suggested the allegations amounted to fraud.
Mr Menzies is said to have called 78-year-old Ms Fieldhouse at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”. “I put my faith completely in the party… nothing happened – I heard nothing… I am appalled,” she told the BBC.“The party has let me down.”Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said Mr Sunak’s independent ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, should look into the handling of the row.
“If they thought they could sweep this under the carpet somehow, they were obviously very mistaken and that is why I think there are very serious questions now that need to be answered.Mr Sunak declined to say whether Mr Menzies should quit as Fylde MP.
