Public accounts committee is understood to be gathering support for inquiry into financial arrangements
MPs on a powerful parliamentary select committee are “pushing hard” to launch an inquiry into Prince Andrew’s residence at Royal Lodge, the Guardian understands.
Keir Starmer has indicated he is open to MPs questioning Andrew in person about his home in Windsor Great Park, where he has lived for more than 20 years without paying rent.
MPs on the public accounts committee, which scrutinises public spending, are understood to be gathering support to launch their inquiry into the financial arrangements.
The select committee is chaired by the veteran Conservative MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown. Any decision to launch an inquiry would need to be agreed by the whole committee.
