A Conservative Party donor has called for the publication of a report on alleged Russian interference in UK democracy.
Alexander Temerko said the paper by the Intelligence Security Committee( ISC) should be published “for republic reasons”.
The report has formal security clearance, but it will not be released until after the 12 December election.
Downing Street has denied claims it is suppressing the document .
Former Russian official Mr Temerko has donated more than PS1m to the Tory Party and its candidates in recent years.
“I think for republic reasons, this report should be released, because if there is real Russian influence, people and country should know about that, ” he told BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera.
