Tories Cannot Buy the Voters of Solihull - Burt

3.18.44pm GMT Tue 2nd Mar 2010

Commenting on the news that the Lord Ashcroft-funded Conservative Party has donated £55,700 to the Solihull election campaign, more than any other seat in the UK, Solihull MP Lorely Burt said:

"Solihull is not for sale. The voters cannot be bought, even if Lord Ashcroft's Conservatives give the Solihull campaign more money than any other seat in the UK.

"The Conservatives have evaded questions about Lord Ashcroft's tax status for years. We now know the truth - he does not pay tax on his worldwide earnings in the UK and has avoided paying up to £127m in tax.

"It has taken a decade for him to finally admit he is not a permanent resident, the very condition he agreed to in order to become a Peer.

"The Conservatives think they can throw money from Belize at Solihull and buy the seat. They clearly under-estimate the people of Solihull who know the Tories are trying to airbrush their record of pandering to the super-rich and ignoring everyone else.
