Sunak's Covid Fund Invested £2m in Wife's Companies, Raising Concerns Over Transparency

Rishi Sunak's controversial Covid startup fund invested nearly £2m in companies linked to his wife Akshata Murty.

4 businesses linked to Murty got investments from the Future Fund despite concerns over lack of transparency and conflict of interest.

About 130 out of 1,191 firms given funding from the scheme have ceased trading in the last 3 years.

None of Murty's investments benefiting from the fund are on Sunak's ministerial interests register.

Critics argue Sunak should be more transparent about Murty's investments that got taxpayer money from the scheme he launched as chancellor.
