The prime minister faces a declaration of interest inquiry over a childcare firm his wife has shares in.
By Joshua NevettPrime Minister Rishi Sunak is being investigated by Parliament's standards watchdog over a possible failure to declare an interest.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced a pilot of payments for new childminders, with more for those who sign up through agencies.Mr Sunak did not mention Ms Murthy's links to Koru Kids when he was questioned by MPs over the childcare policy at a parliamentary committee hearing on 28 March. In his letter, Mr Sunak said the the list of ministerial interests "ensures steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any potential conflict of interest".
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner MP said the failure to update the rules or publish the register of ministers' interests had "left a transparency black hole which is enabling the prime minister and those he has appointed to dodge proper scrutiny of their affairs". "After months of Conservative sleaze and scandal, the public just want a government which is focused on the country, rather than saving their own skin," Liberal Democrat chief whip Wendy Chamberlain said.says Mr Sunak is being investigated under paragraph 6 of code of conduct for MPs.
