""any necessary consequential action""
""The fact of the donations was capable of giving rise to a perceived conflict of interest in the appointment process,""
""as soon as I discovered these donations existed""
""acted in good faith""
Lisa Nandy named sports rights executive David Kogan as the government's preferred choice to run England's new football regulator in April. She later stood back from the appointment process after discovering Kogan had donated £2,900 to her 2020 Labour leadership campaign. Sir William Shawcross, the commissioner for public appointments, said Nandy should have checked beforehand and taken "any necessary consequential action", and that the donations could give rise to a perceived conflict of interest. Officials had advised she could readily ascertain Kogan's links and past donations. Nandy said she declared the donations as soon as she discovered them, regretted the error and apologised. The prime minister accepted she had "acted in good faith".
