The Prime Minister Rishi is being investigated by the parliamentary standards commissioner over the possible failure to declare an interest.
The investigation relates over the issue of whether Sunak should have tegistered his wife’s stake in the childcare business Koru Kids following a £4 billion boost for the sector in last month’s Budget.
During questioning last month by the liaison committee when he was asked whether he had an interest to declare before being asked about the childcare plan, he insisted his ministerial registrations were all up to date
“This government’s failure to update the rules or publish a register of ministers’ interests in nearly a year has left a transparency black hole which is enabling the prime minister and those he has appointed to dodge proper scrutiny of their affairs,” Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner said in a statement. “If Rishi Sunak has got nothing to hide, he should commit to publishing the register before May’s elections so the public can see for themselves.”
“We are happy to assist the commissioner to clarify how this has been transparently declared as a ministerial interest,” a spokesperson said.
