The UK's Labour Party is raising questions about Akshata Murty, wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and the recent liquidation of her investment venture, Catamaran Ventures. The Opposition's Pat MacFadden has sent a letter to Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, seeking clarification on the circumstances surrounding the closure. The letter highlights that Catamaran Ventures received £2 million through government Covid support schemes, devised by Rishi Sunak. It also questions the impact on education start-ups, the settlement of tax liabilities, and notes Murty's decision to make a significant donation to charity following the liquidation. This adds to previous scrutiny over Murty's tax status.
