Minicab boss granted meeting with transport minister after Tory donation
Chairman of minicab firm granted interview with Philip Hammond over bus lanes after £250,000 donation to party. "There are serious questions for ministers to answer about the level of access given to a major donor to the Tory party who at the same time was bidding for lucrative government contracts," said Maria Eagle, the shadow transport secretary. "The public have a right to know if ministers gave preferential treatment to John Griffin and other 'premier league' donors who sought to use access to ministers to advance their own interests."

Hammond's the bod who looks like he pulls wings off flies for amusement, he said he thought cyclists brought many problems on themselves, has speeding convictions and use to get a ministerial Jag to the HoC from his flat in Pimlico.
