'Really I don't see any other perspective that people can have' - Mark Pritchard.
Labour is calling for an investigation after Mr Zahawi admitted an error in his tax affairs that was settled after a multi-million pound pay-out to revenue collectors HMRC.
"I think there should be an inquiry and we do need to know whether Nadhim Zahawi broke the ministerial code for example, so I think there are questions still to answer."Mr Cleverly stressed that Mr Zahawi's error was"careless" and not deliberate, amid allegations he avoided tax and had to pay it back as part of a seven-figure sum to HMRC.
Asked whether Mr Zahawi should reveal this information, the Foreign Secretary said:"People's taxes are private matters. I know that as politicians we, quite rightly, are expected to have a higher level of disclosure than perhaps other people might do. He suggested the Prime Minister does not discuss ministers'"external affairs" during appointments and that it is the Cabinet Office's role to conduct due diligence on his behalf.
"We're being asked to believe that he had this asset worth £27 million that he didn't really know was his, and therefore didn't really know tax was due on it.
