KPMG STORY THAT NEVER QUITE JELLED: 2010 Three businessmen made direct payments of up to £250 a month into Nick Clegg's personal bank account during 2006, according to copies of his bank statements submitted as part of parliamentary expense claims.

They said that the money they donated was to help fund a member of staff in Clegg's parliamentary office. Clegg insists the money was not used for personal spending and only subsidised his parliamentary work, but Sir Alistair Graham, the former chairman of the committee of standards in public life, has described the arrangement as "irregular" and said it would be more normal for donations to be made to party accounts. And then in 2011 Neil Sherlock, a senior executive at KPMG, the accountancy partnership, will become Mr Clegg’s “director of government relations” in the new year. Last year, it was disclosed that he was among a number of businessmen who had paid money directly into Mr Clegg’s bank account to help fund the Liberal Democrat MP’s private office before he was in government. Mr Sherlock has also donated money to the Lib Dems and last year his wife, Kathryn Parminter, the former head of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, was elevated to the House of Lords by Mr Clegg’s party. The recruitment of Mr Sherlock, who is expected to be paid more than £100,000, comes amid a drive by Mr Clegg to beef up his private office and appoint more advisers across Whitehall. The Lib Dems have complained that the Deputy Prime Minister has not had enough support to follow decisions being made across the Government. Bringing in Mr Sherlock from the private sector - at KPMG he is a partner, in charge of public and regulatory affairs - is regarded as a coup for Mr Clegg.

KPMG STORY THAT NEVER QUITE JELLED:
2010
Three businessmen made direct payments of up to £250 a month into Nick Clegg's personal bank account
during 2006, according to copies of his bank statements submitted as
part of parliamentary expense claims. The three men are registered
Liberal Democrat donors: Ian Wright, a senior executive at the drinks
firm Diageo; Neil Sherlock, the head of public affairs at the
accountants KPMG; and Michael Young, a former gold-mining executive.
They said that the money they donated was to help fund a member of staff
in Clegg's parliamentary office.
Clegg insists the money was not used for personal spending and only
subsidised his parliamentary work, but Sir Alistair Graham, the former
chairman of the committee of standards in public life, has described the arrangement as "irregular" and said it would be more normal for donations to be made to party accounts.
And then in 2011
Neil Sherlock, a senior executive at KPMG, the
accountancy partnership, will become Mr Clegg’s “director of government
relations” in the new year.
Last year, it was disclosed that he was among a number of businessmen who had
paid money directly into Mr Clegg’s bank account to help fund the
Liberal Democrat MP’s private office before he was in government.
Mr Sherlock has also donated money to the Lib Dems and last year his
wife, Kathryn Parminter, the former head of the Campaign to Protect
Rural England, was elevated to the House of Lords by Mr Clegg’s party.
The recruitment of Mr Sherlock, who is expected to be paid more than
£100,000, comes amid a drive by Mr Clegg to beef up his private office
and appoint more advisers across Whitehall.
The Lib Dems have complained that the Deputy Prime Minister has not had
enough support to follow decisions being made across the Government.
Bringing in Mr Sherlock from the private sector - at KPMG he is a
partner, in charge of public and regulatory affairs - is regarded as a
coup for Mr Clegg.
However, it has led to concerns over Mr Sherlock’s previous financial connections to Mr Clegg and the Liberal Democrats.
