British politician Waheed Alli, who has been at the centre of a donation scandal involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is being investigated by the Lords Commissioner for alleged non-registration of interests.
As a member of the parliament's upper chamber, the House of Lords, Alli is required to register his interests in line with a parliamentary code of conduct.
The investigation, announced on the parliament's website on Wednesday, said Alli might have potentially breached certain sections of the code of conduct. He is a major Labour donor.
Starmer and some of his top ministers came under fire last month for accepting donations from Alli to pay for clothing, for hosting parties and foreign travel.
The controversy forced Starmer to say he would not accept any more donations to pay for his clothing. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves will also no longer accept them.
