One stop on the itinerary is listed as "Dinner in Edinburgh (possibly with Conservative Party)." Otherwise no political events are mentioned. Representatives of the Scottish parliament have said Ney did not address them. Ney's travel disclosure forms filed with Congress listed the non-profit National Center for Public Policy Research, an organization funded by Abramoff clients, as the sponsor of the trip, but NCPPR later denied having paid or been involved...
