"Madam President, Nick Griffin of the British National Party has suggested that my voting is influenced by commercial interests. I want to make it clear that I am proud to be an advocate of low-carbon technologies to fight climate change. I have never requested or been paid a penny for my work; I do it because I believe in it. Any shareholdings I have ever had have always been declared in the declaration of interests, and they have never stopped me from criticising some wind-power projects.
Openness and transparency have always been the hallmarks of my political life, and, before Nick Griffin tries to smear the reputation of Members here, let him explain why the party he leads has failed twice to submit its accounts on time to Britain’s Electoral Commission. His accountants say that the accounts do not give a true and fair view of his party’s affairs. Many people suspect that money from his party’s members have been used for personal gain. If he denies it, then perhaps Mr Griffin could produce a set of accounts that his own auditors will approve."@en1
