	Opposition parties stepped up attacks on British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown's government today, demanding to know who knew about
illegal secret donations to the ruling Labour Party.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/pressure-mounts-over-donation-scandal/2007/12/03/1196530510706.html"><DIV>
The property developer at the centre of the scandal was reported to
have alleged that 10 Labour Party officials were aware of his
arrangement to give more than STG600,000 ($A1.41 million) to the
party through go-betweens.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/pressure-mounts-over-donation-scandal/2007/12/03/1196530510706.html"><DIV>
British law requires people donating on behalf of others to

An ICM poll for the <EM>News of the World</EM> newspaper showed the
donations scandal and a series of other mishaps are seriously
undermining the popularity of Brown's five-month-old government,
with the opposition Conservatives enjoying an 11-point lead.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/pressure-mounts-over-donation-scandal/2007/12/03/1196530510706.html"><DIV>
Labour's general secretary has resigned over the scandal and the
police have been called in to investigate -- just months after
detectives ended a party funding probe that clouded the final
