Peter Hain has quit the Cabinet after his deputy leader campaign donations were referred to the Met Police.
Mr Hain, work and pensions secretary and Wales secretary, said he had stood down so he could "clear my name".
He quit within minutes of the Electoral Commission saying that it had decided to refer the late declaration of £103,000 of donations to the police.
Mr Hain has blamed poor administration and has said the suggestion he tried to hide anything was "absurd".
In recent British news Peter Hain has been ridiculed for "wrong doings" in the British media. He was the Wales secretary before his resignation. £103,000 was given to the met police from campaign money. Though he has resigned he denies any wrong doing in his administration. Grade this post.
