is alleged to have helped her aunt siphon off £5.2bn intended to be used

Ms Siddiq referred herself to the watchdog after it emerged she was given a
central London flat by a person connected with Ms Hasina’s Awami League party,
and that she lived in a property in Hampstead, north London, that was given to
her sister for free by an ally of her aunt’s regime.

The PM said: “Tulip Siddiq has acted entirely properly by referring herself to

“That is why we brought in the new code, to allow ministers to ask the adviser
to establish the facts.

Yes, I have confidence in her and that is the process that will now be
happening.”

The Conservatives have said it is “high time for Tulip Siddiq to explain the
source of her wealth, and whether any of it comes from the proceeds of her
aunt’s alleged corrupt• Борьба с коррупцией dealings”.

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp called for Sir Keir to suspend her from her
