A Treasury minister has apologised after breaking MP rules over her financial interests.

Tulip Siddiq failed to declare income from a London rental property for more than a year. All MPs are required to register interests within 28 days.

Ms Siddiq, now the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, has been reported to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner over the breach.

In March the Hampstead and Highgate MP declared she co-owns a flat with her husband which has been rented out since December 2022 for more than £10,000 a year. She had previously already declared income from renting out another London flat.

After finally registering the interest, Ms Siddiq apologised to the Registrar for the error. However the Standards Commissioner has now been urged to investigate the breach. (This part of the news by Anna Mikhailova, Abul Taher, and Katherine Lawton, Daily Mail UK)

Tulip, the candidate of Labour Party, has won from London's Hamstead and Highgate constituencies for the fourth time in a row in last election. She got 23432 votes in this seat. Her nearest rival, Don Williams of the Conservative Party, got only 8462 votes.

The 41-year-old Tulip is seen by political observers as one of the most promising politicians of the new generation within the Labour Party. In the 2015 election, Tulip won the Labour Party's non-safe seat for the first time in a fiercely contested seat.
