Call for ministers to be more open about finances after Rishi Sunak code breach

Standards commissioner's ruling has set precedent, says Labour MP who first asked PM about wife's interest in childcare agency

Ministers may need to be more transparent about their financial interests after a significant ruling" that found Rishi Sunak failed to declare his wife's interest in a childcare agency, the MP who triggered the inquiry has said.

Catherine McKinnell, the Labour MP who first asked him about the potential conflict of interest, said the ruling set a precedent that meant ministers were likely to have to make greater disclosures in relation to their interests when questioned in parliament.
