Surely now this is the death throes of his tenure in the post?
Whilst he may be cleared of any wrongdoing in this matter there seems to be a determined effort by the opposition to see him fall on his sword.

Seems very wrong someone can be 'sentenced' without trial or defence.

who's sentenced him, then?

[Philtaz]

He's not on trial as far as I'm aware but he does have some explaining to do:

Mr Vaizey registered the events as donations worth £27,000. These are not cash donations, but estimates from Mr Vaizey of the cost to the companies concerned of hosting the events.

However, Mr Hunt did not declare the meetings against his name in the register. He has subsequently claimed that he attended only three of the eight meetings and has made it clear he intends to amend the register accordingly.

The public and Parliament become suspicious whenever someone has to make amendments to a register.
