Hain guilty of 'serious' failings

Former Cabinet minister Peter Hain has been found guilty of "serious and substantial" failings in not registering more than £100,000 of donations to his Labour deputy leadership campaign, according to Westminster's sleaze watchdog.
The Commons Standards and Privileges Committee said the scale of the rule breach caused "justified public concern".
But the committee merely ordered the Neath MP to make an apology on the floor of the House after accepting there was no "intention to deceive".
