Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Ministerial Envoys in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets have inspected the accounts and finances of Aspire.

It is not the Ministerial Envoys’ role to inspect the accounts and finances of political parties in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The Electoral Commission is the independent regulator responsible for overseeing elections and regulating political finance. Political parties are required to submit an annual statement of accounts to the Electoral Commission. Any breaches of the rules are a matter for the Electoral Commission and the police.
