Osborne denies sleaze rules breach
Updated on 06 July 2008
George Osborne has denied breaching his own party's sleaze rules by accepting thousands of pounds for appearing at an event with business chiefs.
The shadow chancellor received up to £10,000 for speaking to the Institute of Directors' annual conference in Jersey.
But Tory guidelines state: "Shadow Ministers should not solicit fees for broadcasting, speaking engagements and articles. Fees should not be accepted if the subject matter relates directly to your Shadow Ministerial responsibilities."
