£10,000.00 from Aquind Limited, 29/10/2019

Alok Sharma was appointed Business Secretary in February 2020. During only his second week in the job, Sharma shared a table with Temerko and his fellow Aquind director, Kirill Glukhovskoy, at the Conservatives’ annual Black and White fundraising ball. The company paid £12,000

8. James Wharton - £25,000
former Conservative MP for Stockton South

£10,000.00 from Alexander Temerko, 11/11/2013

£5,000.00 from Alexander Temerko, 01/07/2015
£5,000.00 from Alexander Temerko, 24/02/2016

In August 2017, months after Wharton had lost his seat, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) gave its blessing to his appointment as “a part-time, paid, strategic advisor” to Aquind Limited.

ACOBA is an advisory body aimed at preventing a ‘revolving door’ between law-makers and the private sector. A few months prior to the decision, it was branded a “toothless regulator” by the House of Commons’ Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee.

Wharton went on to become the campaign manager of Boris Johnson’s successful bid for the Conservative Party leadership and was rewarded by the now Prime Minister with a life peerage.

In September 2020, he took up a seat in the House of Lords as Baron Wharton of Yarm, and – according to his LinkedIn profile – remains in his role advising the board of Aquind.

Conservative MP for Milton Keynes South
£5,000.00 from Offshore Group Newcastle Limited, 18/12/2014*

[N.B. the donation was reported to have been received by the Milton Keynes South West Conservative party association. Milton Keynes South West constituency had ceased to exist prior to the 2010 general election, and was replaced by Milton Keynes South,

which has been represented by Stewart ever since. I am working on the assumption this is a transcription error, and the donation was received by the Milton Keynes South Conservative party association.]
