Downing Street spokesman will not say when PM realised his deputy had not paid her full stamp duty liability
Reeves has ‘full confidence’ in Rayner after stamp duty error
Downing Street has said that Angela Rayner only got “final advice” saying that she had underpaid stamp duty on her Hove flat on Wednesday morning.
But it has also said that Keir Starmer was “kept updated” about the steps that she was taking to clarify her position.
It has now emerged that on Friday evening Rayner instructed a KC to review her position in relation to the stamp duty she should have paid when she bought the flat.
