The seven sitting Lib Dem MPs to receive a money are [[Norman Baker]], [[Lorely Burt]], [[Tessa Munt]], [[John Pugh]], [[Martin Horwood]], [[Adrian Sanders]] and [[Jenny Willott]]. Of the thirty Labour candidates, twenty-nine are attacking Tory marginals with small majorities and the other, [[Melanie Onn]] is fighting to hold her seat against Ukip. The Labour candidates include those in Carlisle, Hastings and Rye, Hove, and Brighton Kempton in the south; Gloucester and Kingswood in the west; and Great Yarmouth and Peterborough in the east. Another £10,000 has been given to the campaign to re-elect [[Caroline Lucas]] of the [[Green Party]], MP for Brighton.</ins></div></td></tr>
