Parliamentary commissioner for standards said PM inadvertently broke transparency rules by failing to declare wife’s interest in childcare firm
has apologised for inadvertently failing to declare an interest to the Commons liasion committee. As breaches of the code of conduct for MPs go, this is at the most minor end of the scale. But it is still embarrassing for someone who promised “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level” on the day he became prime minister. Sunak was trying to differentiate himself from his predecessor-but-one, Boris Johnson, who was notably deficient on all three measures.
McKinnell wrote to the commissioner to ask if this was a breach of the Commons rule saying MPs must declare relevant interests in any parliamentary proceedings, including committee hearings.
