Keir Starmer’s adviser on ministerial standards is looking at new information that has “come to light” about Rachel Reeves’s failure to get a licence to rent out her family home, Downing Street said, adding that the prime minister still had full confidence in his chancellor.
A No 10 spokesperson said: “Following a review of emails sent and received by the chancellor’s husband, new information has come to light. This has now been passed to the prime minister and his independent adviser. It would be inappropriate to comment further.”
It is understood that the emails are between Reeves’s husband, Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, and the lettings agency used by the couple to let their family home in south London after they moved to Downing Street.
