Forgemasters Loan
The Financial Times has reported on a letter written by Rachel and Barry Gardiner MP, to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, John Lyon.
The letter asks Mr. Lyon to investigate Nick Clegg's handling of the Sheffield Forgemasters loan, and the way he described its withdrawal to MPs.
The Deputy Prime Minister told MPs in the House of Commons that the £80m loan was cancelled because the Directors of the company were unwilling to sell shares to raise money. However, it has since been made clear that the Directors were willing to do so.
