UK MPs will discuss the spending of the Vote Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum, after Liberal Democrat Tom Brake secured a Parliamentary debate. The Electoral Commission is currently investigating former volunteer Shahmir Sanni's claim the Vote Leave campaign donated £625,000 ($921,147) to another pro-Brexit group to prevent it breaching the £7m spending cap.
