US EditionRupert Lowe Cleared of Breaching MPs’ Rules over Grooming Gang Inquiry Donations
ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 11 – Rupert Lowe faces scrutiny for not declaring more than £600,000 raised for his independent inquiry into gang-related sexual exploitation, potentially breaching MPs' Code of Conduct.
- Parliament's standards commissioner Daniel Greenberg opened a formal inquiry on July 10, 2025, into MP Rupert Lowe's failure to register donations for his Rape Gang Inquiry.
- The inquiry followed concerns over Lowe not declaring over £600,000 raised since March via a crowdfunder supporting a national grooming gangs inquiry.
- Donations arrived on June 23, and Lowe's inquiry group said he had not used the funds until late June, with the required 28-day registration window still open.
- Greenberg confirmed no breach of rules occurred, citing evidence Lowe submitted on time, while Lowe called the complaint a malicious attempt to shut down the inquiry.
- Lowe, suspended from Reform UK in March amid unrelated allegations, denied wrongdoing, pledged to continue his investigation, and plans to welcome abuse survivors to Westminster soon.
