Rachel Reeves says ‘no one raised concerns’ about her expenses at HBOS

Science secretary calls BBC's reporting totally inaccurate' after claim chancellor was investigated by former employer

Rachel Reeves has defended herself and said it would be up to the public to judge her on her record as chancellor, after a BBC investigation raised questions about her job history and expenses.

In her first comments since claims emerged that she was the subject of an investigation into her expenses while working at Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS), the chancellor said no one ever raised any concerns with her.
