MPs have raised question over shares held by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's wife in a childminder agency set to benefit from new government policies.
Announced in Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s latest budget were measures to offer prospective childminders a £600 bonus and a £1,200 bonus to those signing on with one of six agencies, including Koru Kids that Akshata Murty holds shares in.
Appearing at a session of the House of Commons Liaison Committee this week Sunak acknowledged that the six agencies would benefit financially but failed to mention his wife’s shares in Koru Kids.
Murty was first listed as a shareholder in March 2021 and again in March this year in documents published on Companies House.
