Warsi 'never discussed' rent with Dr Wafik Moustafa

The co-chairman of the Conservative party has become embroiled in a dispute over whether she paid rent while staying at a house in London for which she claimed expenses.

Baroness Warsi insisted she made an "appropriate payment" for the nights she stayed at a property.

The Tory peer said she made appropriate financial payments to her friend, who is now her special adviser, for her overnight stays.

But the owner of the house in question, Dr Wafik Moustafa, told the BBC that they never discussed payment.
