TL;DR Summary

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is being investigated for a potential breach of the MP code of conduct over his wife's stake in a childcare firm that received a boost in last month's Budget. The parliamentary standards commissioner has opened an investigation under paragraph six of the code, which says MPs "must always be open and frank in declaring any relevant interest" they hold.
