Midlands Industrial Council
The Midlands Industrial Council is a British group of wealthy businessmen who help to fund the Conservative Party. According to the Sunday Times, they are one of the Party's 'most important financial backers'.
As well as the Conservative Party they have also funded the Taxpayers Alliance and individual Conservative parliamentary candidates.
The group is chaired by Jonny Leavesley, of The Leavesley Group. Midlands Industrial Council only lists one Midlands industrial company member, among other individuals with an interest in importing products to the UK rather than in Midlands industry.
