West Yorkshire Police have been asked to investigate the circumstances surrounding a £6m land deal between a scandal-hit free school and a company owned by one of the Conservative Party’s most senior figures.

 Bradford West MP George Galloway has written to West Yorkshire police chief Mark Gilmore raising concerns about the agreement struck by the Kings Science Academy to rent land in the city from a firm owned by Tory Party vice chairman Alan Lewis. Mr Lewis is also an executive patron of the school, which was praised by Education Secretary Michael Gove when it opened in 2011 but has become mired in allegations of financial irregularity.
