Lord Alli organised a post-election reception in the Downing Street garden with others who helped to bankroll its campaign.

It is rare for anyone not formally employed as a political adviser or civil servant to be given a Downing Street pass, or to host events on the premises .

The move has raised eyebrows among colleagues amid scrutiny of Labour 's relationship with donors.

There is no suggestion Alli is seeking a role or has broken any rules.

Government source said the event was within the rules as it took place in the garden.

He is the majority shareholder of three companies an investment vehicle, a TV production company, and a fashion company.

He was best man at Emily Thornberry's wedding and is godfather to her son.
