Jan.16 (GMM) Williams co-owner and veteran engineering boss Patrick Head has been named amid a British scandal that could end the career of a prominent government minister.



Peter Hain, who is UK work and pensions secretary, is being investigated for failing to declare nearly (US) $200,000 in donations contributing to his campaign to become deputy leader of the Labour party.



Nearly $4,000 of the undeclared donations was made by Head, who like Sir Frank Williams is close to the minister, according to the Times.



It is believed that the Electoral Commission will check the source of all Hain donors.



Hain is said to have attended the 1999 Italian grand prix as a guest of the Oxfordshire based team, British media reports also said.
