Book Description
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards submitted a memorandum on his investigation of a complaint that Mr George Osborne failed to register certain donations in the Register of Members' Interests. These donations were made to the Conservative Party and used by the Party to support the cost of running his office as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. It became clear that many other members of the Shadow Cabinet used funds in this way, so this complaint has ramifications well beyond one entry in the Register. Mr Osborne believes that financial support received through a party to support work as a Shadow Minister does not constitute 'financial or material support as a Member of Parliament'. The Commissioner finds that there is no logical reason to differentiate between the different capacities in which MPs receive financial support, and upholds the complaint, but does not believe Mr Osborne should be criticised as the area was in need of clarification. He makes five recommendations which should regularise the position, and members of the Shadow Cabinet are given four weeks from publication of this report to amend their Register entries. The Committee agrees with the Commissioner's findings and recommendations.

Book Description
A complaint against Mr Osborne was made by the chairman of the Tatton Labour Party, Mr Laurie Burton. The essence of the complaint was that between 2001 and 2003 Mr Osborne had wrongly identified his main home for the purposes of his claims against Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) and that from 2003 he had claimed for mortgage payments that were not necessarily incurred, contrary to the rules of the House. After investigation the Commissioner concluded that he did not regard the breaches of the rules as particularly serious. Mr Osborne has been consistent in pointing out that he took advice at all times from the House authorities and acted on that advice. The breaches were not major or intentional nor did they provide Mr Osborne with any significant financial benefit. He has offered to pay back the excess sums he claimed for and received in 2005-06 and 2006-07. These amount to £1,936, less the sums he has already repaid.
