According to the then general secretary of the Labour Party, Mr Iain McNicol—now the noble Lord, Lord McNicol—54% of the fund was used for other purposes, and so roughly half was used for campaigning. That is fine, but there should be complete transparency and clarity about where the money is going—and there was not. Indeed, some members of the Labour Front Bench tonight might be interested to know, for example, that BDS campaigning was extensively financed by unions; in fact, nearly all unions financed an element of BDS campaigning. That was not made clear to members, who were giving their money in good faith.
