Galloway under pressure to clear name over Iraq money claims

MAVERICK British Labour MP George Galloway was facing mounting pressure last night over allegations that he received hundreds of thousands of pounds from the regime of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Prime Minister Tony Blair’s official spokesman described the claims, which the Glasgow Kelvin MP has denied, as “serious allegations.”

Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith called for a parliamentary probe into Mr Galloway’s financial affairs.
