The Secretary of Culture has apologized for breaking the rules by failing to declare that he received donations from the person he chose as the new Football regulator.
On Thursday, the Commissioner for the public appointed by the public published a report which found that David Kogan made two equal donations of £ 1,450 to Lisa Nandy, when she was running as Labor leader in 2020.
Speaking on Sunday on the BBC with Laura Kuenssberg, Nandy said: “We didn’t meet the highest standards – which I have.”
The Conservatives said Nandy’s actions were “a serious breach of public trust” and called for a further investigation into Sir Keir Starmer, who also received donations from Mr Gogan.
Mr Kogan, a sports rights executive, was initially tipped for the role of football regulator under the previous conservative government.
Nandy joined the process after labor won the 2024 general election and got the role of culture secretary.
In April, he announced that Mr. Kogan was his preferred choice to fill the vacancy.
However, a month later he removed himself from the appointment process after Mr. Koanan revealed to a parliamentary committee that he donated “a very small amount” to Nandy in 2020.
