Rishi Sunak to be probed over wife's stake in UK childcare firm

Hindustan Times  

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being investigated by parliament's standards watchdog over whether he properly declared his wife's shareholding in a childcare company which stands to benefit from new government policy. Opposition parties had raised questions over media reports that Sunak's wife Akshata Murthy was a shareholder in a company set to benefit from support for the childcare sector announced in March's budget. "We are happy to assist the commissioner to clarify how this has been transparently declared as a ministerial interest," Sunak's spokesperson said, confirming the investigation was linked to the childcare firm. Read here: French court acquits Air France, Airbus over 2009 Rio-Paris crash Opposition Labour Party deputy leader Angela Rayner said Sunak should publish an updated register of ministerial interests before municipal elections next month, saying the failure to do so had left "a transparency black hole which is enabling the prime minister and those he has appointed to dodge proper scrutiny of their affairs".
