Rishi Sunak sacks Nadhim Zahawi after tax investigation

115 - 31-Jan-2023
Description

The former chancellor, who is now facing calls to resign his parliament seat, made no apologies for his handling of fiscal affairs and lashed out at the media in his farewell letter to the prime minister.

More than eight days after it emerged Zahawi had paid a £1m fine to HMRC, the Prime Minister told him in a letter that there had been "a serious breach of the Ministerial Code" and that he would be removed from office. . .

Sunak revealed on Sunday morning that his ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, ruled that Zahawi had breached ministerial rules seven times by failing to be open and honest during the tax saga, including by making "false" public statements.
