Business secretary says Akshata Murthy and her husband, Rishi Sunak have been ‘incredibly transparent’
A cabinet minister has defended the chancellor’s wife for having non-domicile status in the UK, allowing her to avoid paying millions of pounds in tax on foreign earnings, and hit back at “malicious attacks” against her.
The business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, insisted Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murthy, had been “incredibly transparent” about the arrangement and added that people should “move on from that story”.
