Parliamentary watchdog investigates UK's Rishi Sunak over undeclared interest

TL;DR Summary
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being investigated by Parliament's standards watchdog over a possible failure to declare an interest related to a childcare firm his wife has shares in. The investigation is focused on whether Sunak's declaration of interest was "open and frank" under rules set out by the commissioner for standards. The commissioner decides whether an MP has broken rules after an inquiry. Sunak faced questions last month over shares his wife holds in Koru Kids, a childcare agency that could benefit from a new policy unveiled in the spring Budget.
