Keir Starmer found to have breached MPs’ code of conduct over register of interests

Labour leader was late in declaring eight interests but watchdog called breaches minor and/or inadvertent'

Keir Starmer has been found to have breached the MPs' code of conduct by failing to register on time eight interests, including gifts from football teams and the sale of a plot of land.

An inquiry into the Labour leader was opened in June by the parliamentary standards commissioner, Kathryn Stone, relating to claims about late declaration of earnings and gifts, benefits or hospitality from UK sources.
