Cameron denounces fundraising claims

British Prime Minister David Cameron has said claims made by a senior Tory fundraiser that donations to the party would secure access to ministers are “completely unacceptable”.

Mr Cameron insisted that was “not the way” the Conservative Party raised money and promised an inquiry to ensure it would not happen again.

He said it was right that treasurer Peter Cruddas had resigned in the wake of the revelations about his comments to undercover reporters posing as potential donors.
