Bromley by-election donations

Anxiety has been expressed that credit card donations made to the Bromley by-election appeal went into the account of Graham Booth MEP.

This was purely an administrative convenience, and all monies received in this way were transferred into the by-election fund. The reason this occured was because the by-election (on June 29) could not have come at a worse time for the UKIP administration. The head office at Birmingham was being severely reduced in June preparatory to the move of head office functions to Lexdrum House, Newton Abbot, Devon on July 1. So the South-west office (which is paid for out of Graham Booth MEP's account) was requested to administer a by-election appeal which was sent out by that office on behalf of the Party Leader, Roger Knapman.

The only credit card facility immediately available was on the Graham Booth MEP account and that was what we used.
