Al tlie Wheat Inqusy in connection with the evidence regarding the financial position of Mr Grahame (Minister for Agriculture) the question of the payment of a large sum of money for the lease of Kensington racecourse cropped up. Mr Griffiths, who was Minister for Works at the time of the lease, in evidence said that according to stories then current one or two thousand pounds, allegedly from the racecourse people, had through Mr Grahame (then Party Whip) been handed to Mr Holman for Party funds.
