Ed Davey has accused a care home trustee of embezzlement, triggering an inquiry by charity watchdogs into financial mismanagement at a care facility for adults with severe learning disabilities.
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has made serious allegations against a trustee of a learning disability care home, accusing them of embezzlement during a session of prime minister's questions. This accusation comes in light of a recent revelation by the Guardian that the Charity Commission has initiated a major investigation into claims of financial mismanagement and potential misuse of funds at William Blake House. This urgent inquiry was prompted by alarm bells raised by families of residents who found out that the care home was facing imminent closure due to a substantial unpaid tax bill of £1.6 million, alongside a shocking £1 million that was paid to the chair of trustees as consultancy fees, raising red flags concerning the management of the charity's finances.
