'Illegal decision"

"I took this decision in Good Faith , with an Open Mind , and I Am confident that all The Rules were followed," he told MPs.

He told MPs Mr Desmond had tried to increase the control with him during dinner, But that he had told the business man he could not discuss.

But , Mr Desmond Last Weekend that he had shown, Mr Jenrick, a promotional video for the program on his cell phone during the fundraiser at The Savoy Hotel.

Mr Desmond did not respond to BBC requests for a comment.

Mr Reed said: "The Secretary of state has admitted that he knew that his illegal, unilateral decision-making would bypass to authorize Richard Desmond property, save the Conservative Party donor, up to £150, But there are still far too many unanswered questions left. "

He added that, if Mr Jenrick "has nothing to hide, then he has nothing to fear from the publication of these documents".

Labour and the Liberal Democrats , the UK's top civil servant, Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark have written Sedwill, to investigate, to ask him the ministerial code, whether Mr Jenrick broke.

The "Cabinet Office ", said Sir Mark would react "to the letter in due course", But has refused to conduct a full investigation.
