IM Boss questioned over cash for peerages
Bob Edmiston, the head of car importer International Motors, has been questioned by police as part of the cash for peerages investigation.
He is one of several wealthy Tory backers to be contacted as part of the police inquiry. Edmiston was questioned over the £2m loan he agreed with the Conservative Party ahead of last year’s General Election.
The loan circumvented rules that require all donations of £5,000 or above be made public. Edmiston has since converted the loan into a donation.
