It has emerged property developer David Abrahams has given Labour more than £650,000 under other people's names since 2003 - something Mr Brown has described as illegal and "completely unacceptable".
Labour's general secretary Peter Watt has already resigned after admitting he knew about the funding arrangement.
And it has emerged that Labour's chief fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn was told about it last month, but did not tell anyone else - he said he wanted to sort out the matter in private with Mr Abrahams.
During heated exchanges at prime minister's questions, Mr Cameron asked whether Mr Brown could repeat his pledges to deliver honest and open government and restore trust in politics.
Mr Brown replied: "That's why I have acted immediately to set up two inquiries. All of us on all sides of this House have an interest in integrity in funding to political parties."
He said Parliament should do everything possible to ensuring funding is transparent.
But Mr Cameron asked about Mr Mendelsohn's position, asking how he could "possibly still be in post". Mr Brown said Mr Mendelsohn had only started in the job from 3 September, while the donations stretched back over four years and he had "absolutely no involvement" in the donations.
