Tories accuse Angela Rayner of breaching ministerial code over moving assistance from civil servants

The Conservative Party has filed a complaint against Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, alleging she asked civil servants for help moving into a government apartment. The complaint claims this could breach the ministerial code regarding public duties and private interests. The complaint was made by Tory MP Paul Holmes, who stated that if true, Rayner's actions would violate rules against using government resources for personal benefit. This follows recent reports of other ministers, including David Lammy and Steve Reed, for potential code breaches. The Ministry of Housing confirmed that logistical support was provided for Rayner's move, but stated that removal and cleaning services were paid for personally by her.
