Sir Keir Starmer has announced reform of donation and gift declaration rules in government, addressing allegations of sleaze and nepotism amid controversial cabinet behaviors.
Pat McFadden stated that the current loopholes allowing ministers to avoid declaring certain hospitality received an undue advantage and promised a level playing field in disclosures.
Following criticism and internal party resignations, including MP Rosie Duffield's departure, the government aims to strengthen accountability through the overhaul of transparency rules.
The shift in rules is intended to hold both ministers and shadow ministers to the same standards of disclosure regarding gifts, improving public trust.
