Conservative MPs demand investigation into Labour donor Ian Corfield's appointment at UK Treasury, citing conflict of interest.
Conservative MPs have demanded an investigation into the appointment of Labour donor Ian Corfield as a temporary director of investment at the UK Treasury. Critics argue that Corfield's £5,000 donation to Labour MP Rachel Reeves last year, combined with his appointment through an exception to Civil Service recruitment rules, presents a "clear conflict" of interest. Shadow Treasury minister Laura Trott has written to the Prime Minister's independent ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, requesting an investigation into potential breaches of the Ministerial Code by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
