Rishi Sunak investigated over declaration of interest
The prime minister faces a declaration of interest inquiry over a childcare firm his wife has shares in.

Last month, Mr Sunak faced questions over shares his wife, Akshata Murty, holds in Koru Kids, a childcare agency that could benefit from a new policy unveiled in the spring Budget.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced a pilot of payments for new childminders, with more for those who sign up through agencies.
Ms Murty was listed as a shareholder in one of those agencies, Koru Kids, as recently as 6 March.
Mr Sunak did not mention Ms Murthy's links to Koru Kids when he was questioned by MPs over the childcare policy at a parliamentary committee hearing on 28 March.
