Rishi Sunak’s wife’s stake in childcare firm not mentioned in six ministerial registers

Exclusive: No 10 urged to explain as lists of interests since 2019 do not refer to Akshata Murty’s shares

Opposition parties have called on Downing Street to provide answers over Rishi Sunak’s family financial interests as the Guardian discovered that previous ministerial registers made no mention of his wife’s stake in a childcare firm, even though it began in 2019.

The prime minister could be ordered to apologise to the House of Commons if an inquiry announced on Monday by parliament’s commissioner for standards into his declarations about the investment finds he breached the code of conduct for MPs.
