Will he "send the boys round"?

When the "loans for peerages" scandal first broke and the names of Labour Party lenders appeared in the press, a number of them said they genuinely expected to be repaid their money at the agreed time. In 11 days, Sir Christopher Evans, the founder of Merlin Biosciences, and lender of £1 million is due his cash. Labour are not exactly in a financial to pay right now, but will Evans "send the boys round"? Or will someone in the Labour Party convince him to become a donor instead? I guess we'll know on December 1st.
