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 launched an investigation on July 10, 2025, into MP Rupert Lowe over allegedly failing to register donations to his 'Rape Gang Inquiry'.
- The probe followed concerns that Lowe did not declare over £600,000 raised via a Crowdfunder started in March before the Prime Minister announced a government inquiry in June.
- Lowe, suspended from Reform UK in March, denied wrongdoing, claimed the investigation was a 'political assassination attempt', and said his private inquiry would continue.
- The commissioner confirmed the 28-day registration window had not passed since the money arrived on June 23, stating "no breach of the Rules has occurred."
- The inquiry's clearance implies Lowe can maintain his investigation and plans to welcome abuse survivors to Westminster, while MPs will be invited to engage with them individually.
