00:00 Now, look, Mr Hester has given the Conservative Party £10 million.
00:04 Can you confirm that the party's received another £5 million from him?
00:09 And if so, when?
00:11 No, look, the party makes its declaration.
00:16 Look, I'm the Transport Secretary.
00:17 I'm not involved with donations to the Conservative Party
00:21 and the processes that we have in place to check those or to declare them.
00:26 Any donations that we receive from anybody that we accept
00:30 are declared in the usual way.
00:32 And that's why you know that Mr Hester made those donations in the past.
00:37 And if there are any donations in the future, and that's hypothetical,
00:41 the party will declare them in the proper way.
00:43 With the greatest respect and affection and everything,
00:46 you are the Cabinet Minister on the morning round.
00:50 There must be an answer to this.
00:52 They must have told you, or are they just hiding it from you,
00:55 whether or not they've got another £5 million,
00:58 as is being widely reported.
01:01 We've declared in the proper way any donations that we've received.
01:06 That's why people know that Mr Hester donated money to the Conservative Party.
01:11 And if in the future there are any donations,
01:14 and you know you're asking me to speculate on a hypothetical here,
01:17 there's a proper process to go through,
01:19 and those donations will be declared in the usual way.
