Brian Souter, the head of Stagecoach, donated £1m to fight the Labour Party's abolition of Clause 28, which had been introduced by the Conservative Party in 1988.

[Local authorities shall not] promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship
