An inquiry found Keir Starmer failed to register eight interests despite stating that he was 'absolutely confident' he had not broken any rules
The Labour leader was found to have failed to register multiple interests despite stating that he was "absolutely confident" he had not broken any rules when the allegations were first made.
However, she noted the "breaches were minor and/or inadvertent, and that there was no deliberate attempt to mislead". In the original complaint made to the commissioner, it was alleged that between March 6, 2022 and May 13 2022, Sir Keir had failed, on three occasions to register income and hospitality that he had accepted, within the 28-day deadline set by the House.
The commissioner wrote in her report: "Sir Keir said he had been communicating with the Registrar of Members' Financial Interests on this matter, and, having had the land valued in January 2022, and put the land on the market in March 2022, he was waiting for the sale to complete so that he could register the correct value.
"I decided therefore, the inquiry could be concluded by way of the rectification 35 procedure available to me under Standing Order No. 150." Sir Keir received an £18,450 advance from publisher HarperCollins in April for a book he is writing, in which he is expected to set out his vision for Britain.
