		</div><p>David Cameron has admitted he botched the handling of the row over his financial affairs, telling Tory activists it had &#8220;not been a great week&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister confirmed he would publish his tax returns as he accepted the blame for the controversy over his connection to his late father&#8217;s offshore business interests.</p>
<p>Speaking at the Conservative Party&#8217;s spring forum in central London, he said: &#8220;It has not been a great week. I know that I should have handled this better, I could have handled this better.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know there are lessons to learn and I will learn them.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t blame Number 10 Downing Street or nameless advisers, blame me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Cameron continued: &#8220;I was obviously very angry about what people were saying about my dad. I loved my dad, I miss him every day.<br />
&#8220;He was a wonderful father and I&#8217;m very proud of everything he did.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I mustn&#8217;t let that cloud the picture. The facts are these: I bought shares in a unit trust, shares that are like any other sorts of shares and I paid taxes on them in exactly the same way.</p>
<p>&#8220;I sold those shares. In fact, I sold all the shares that I owned, on becoming Prime Minister.</p>
<p>&#8220;And later on I will be publishing the information that goes into my tax return, not just for this year but the years gone past because I want to be completely open and transparent about these things.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will be the first Prime Minister, the first leader of a major political party, to do that and I think it is the right thing to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Prime Minister has admitted he had made a £19,000 profit from a Bahamas-based fund set up by his father Ian Cameron.</p>
<p>Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for the Prime Minister to make a formal Commons statement on the issue, claiming Mr Cameron had &#8220;misled the public&#8221; and &#8220;lost the trust of the British people&#8221;.</p>
