Revision as of 14:22, 31 October 2009

The Public Interest Foundation is a charitable foundation associated with the Jabbar Group. It was set up on 19 February 2007 with two directors Imran Khand a Glasgow based businessman (and New Labour donor) and Willie Sullivan a Fife Labour councillor and New labour networker, subsequently part of the group Compass.[1] Its website makes it appear to be a progressive campaigning organisation, though it also claims an expertise in 'lobbying'.

Activities

The PIF 'supported and provided some of the secretariat for the British All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Tackling Terrorism.'[2] The PIF sponsors the Journal of Global Policy and the Centre for Global Policy at the London School of Economics.[3] |

People

Is Griffiths a director?

In his entry in the Register of Members Interests Griffiths claims that he is a remunerated director of the Foundation. The precise wording in Griffiths register of interests is 'Remunerated directorships: The Jabbar Group and Public Interest Foundation (non-executive); an infrastructure company and associated charitable foundation.'[7] This is odd as Griffiths is not registered as a director of Public Interest Foundation and in its accounts of February 2008 it declares that it did no business and has no resources.[8]

Advisors

Claims to have a 'Global Advisory board' but no list of its members on the website at the end of February 2009. Prof. David Held [9]|

Affiliations

Use Maclay, Murray and Spens of St Vincent Street, Glasgow as lawyers and Company Secretary.[10]
