The party said the Political Animal Lobby (PAL), which made a £1m donation to Labour before the general election in 1997, donated an additional £100,000 last year.

Cash for Answers and not the only case.
A lot of Parliamentary time was wasted on it.
There was a case, where before the ban, a local hunt stopped hunting in a certain area after a request by the RSPB. The result was that the fox population increased dramatically and decimated the nesting birds on the coastal area.

Soya has to be imported and so should have a "green" tax applied to it. It's not environmentally friendly shipping it across the Atlantic.
