Rishi Sunak ‘inadvertently’ broke parliamentary rules, according to the findings of an investigation by the parliamentary standards commissioner.
An inquiry was launched after concerns were raised about the shares held by Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty in childminding agency Koru Kids, which was set to benefit regarding incentives to boost childminder numbers announced in the Budget.
The parliamentary commissioner for standards, Daniel Greenberg, has concluded that Sunak had ‘confused’ the rules regarding registering and declaring interests.
In April, it was alleged that the prime minister’ had failed to declare that Murty held shares in Koru Kids, which is one of six childminding agencies chosen by the Government as part of scheme paying new childminders a £1,200 bonus to sign up.
