CABINET minister Jack Straw faced questions today over a donation from a Saudi-backed firm.
The Electoral Commission was urged to investigate whether the £2,000 gift to his 2005 general election campaign was lawful.
The money from Westminster International Consultants was accepted by Blackburn constituency Labour party on the same day as it received a £3,000 sum from Lord Taylor of Blackburn - the peer at the centre of the "Lords for Hire" allegations.
