The chairman of outsourcing firm Capita is stepping down over
"spurious" claims his £1m loan to Labour resulted in the group getting
government contracts.

Rod Aldridge, one of 12 donors who lent the party almost £14m in total
before the last election, said he did "not want this misconception to
continue".

Chancellor Gordon Brown said the political funding system had to be
reformed to increase "transparency".

An influential Commons committee has also launched an inquiry into
funding.

Says he didn't do it then quits.
