Sunak breached MPs' code of conduct over wife's financial interest in childminding company
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during a visit to the Busy Bees nursery in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, August 21, 2023
RISHI SUNAK broke the MPs’ code of conduct by not declaring his wife’s financial interest in a childminding company, the Commons’ standards commissioner Daniel Greenberg found today.
The PM failed to detail Akshata Murty’s stake in Koru Kids, which is set to benefit from government policy, Mr Greenberg said.
Mr Greenberg concluded that the breach arose out of Mr Sunak’s “confusion” around the rules on declaration.
