Parliament Investigates UK PM's Undeclared Interest and Wife's Ties to Childcare Firm

UK 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. The investigation is an embarrassment for Sunak, who came into office in October promising to lead a government with integrity "at every level" as he sought to revive his party's fortunes ahead of a national election expected next year.

Parliamentary watchdog investigates UK's Rishi Sunak over undeclared interest

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.
