UK Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg opened an inquiry into whether Prime Minister Rishi Sunak failed to declare a relevant interest.
The probe relates to a verbal exchange about childcare policy between the prime minister and a panel of senior members of the House of Commons on March 28th, a person familiar with the matter said. Sunak was asked by the committee if he had any interest to declare on the matter, to which he replied: “No,” despite his wife Akshata Murty owns a minority stake in a childcare company called Koru Kids.
