Britain's anti-corruption minister, Tulip Siddiq, is under pressure to resign after a scam involving a London flat as a gift was revealed.
The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly asked Siddiq whether she was given the two-bedroom flat, now worth £700,000, recently owned by a builder linked to her Bangladeshi dictator aunt.
She denied that it was a gift while insisting that her parents had bought it for her. The minister has also threatened the MOH with legal action.
Labor sources have confirmed that the apartment was given to her as an "act of gratitude".
The 42-year-old minister, whose role is anti-corruption in Britain's financial sector, is under investigation in her native Bangladesh. Siddiq and four family members are accused of embezzling £3.9 billion from a nuclear power plant, according to the Daily Mail.
Last night, Conservative MPs demanded that she resign as Treasury minister if she does not provide an explanation about the situation.
Bob Blackman, the Conservative MP, said Siddiq should clarify his position on the property. If she doesn't, her position as minister is untenable.
While MP Matt Vickers said that accusations of this nature against any member of the government are unacceptable, but they are even more controversial when the minister is Starmer's anti-corruption minister".
While Ben Obese-Jecty, conservative MP, said that this new information about Tulip Siddiq is worrying.
