Despite the controversy, Kevin Hollinrake, a Conservative minister, believes that returning the money is not necessary and suggests that the party may accept further donations from the businessman.

Sunak acknowledged that the comments were wrong and racist, and that the backer has apologized, but did not commit to returning the donation.
