Nadhim Zahawi sacked as Tory party chairman over tax row as investigation finds 'serious breach' of ministerial code
Rishi Sunak ordered his ethics adviser to investigate Mr Zahawi, who briefly served as chancellor last year, over an estimated £4.8m bill he settled with HMRC during his time running the Treasury.
But his ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, has found Mr Zahawi "has shown insufficient regard for the General Principles of the Ministerial Code and the requirements in particular, under the seven Principles of Public Life, to be honest, open and an exemplary leader through his own behaviour". "As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty’s Government."
He wrote: "I consider that an HMRC investigation of the nature faced by Mr Zahawi would be a relevant matter for a Minister to discuss and declare as part of their declaration of interests. But when he was appointed Chancellor during the mass exodus of cabinet members at the tail end of Boris Johnson's demise as PM, Mr Zahawi made no reference to the investigation when he declared his interests.
