UK's ruling Conservatives fined over election expenses, police alerted

LONDON, Mar 16 (Reuters) Britain's ruling Conservative Party has been fined 70,000 pounds (86,000 dollars) for breaching rules which govern spending during an election campaign and the matter has been referred to police, Britain's Electoral Commission said today.
The fine, the largest of its kind, was imposed on Prime Minister Theresa May's party after the commission found "significant failures" to report accurately how much it spent on campaigning at three by-elections in 2014, and at the 2015 national election.
Some returns were incomplete or inaccurate and did not conform to rules governing spending on campaigning at a local and at a national level. The commission said it had referred one incident to London's Metropolitan Police Service.
