Thank you for contacting me about Nadhim Zahawi.
I note your concerns regarding Mr Zahawi and accusations of tax avoidance following media reports that Mr Zahawi has paid HMRC to settle a tax dispute.
Integrity and accountability is important to me and to this Government, which is why the Prime Minister has asked his Independent Advisor to get to the bottom of this situation. As the Independent Advisor, Sir Laurie Magnus will investigate the matter fully and provide advice accordingly to the Prime Minister on Mr Zahawi's compliance with the Ministerial Code. I know that Mr Zahawi has agreed to fully co-operate with this investigation.
I will continue to follow developments closely.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.
