NICOLA Sturgeon has called on Rishi Sunak to remove Nadhim Zahawi from his ministerial position.
The Prime Minister has referred Zahawi to his independent ethics adviser due to concerns relating to his tax affairs.
It is estimated that Zahawi – who now serves as chairman of the Conservative Party as well as a Cabinet Office minister – paid a penalty as part of a settlement with HMRC worth nearly £5 million while serving as Chancellor.
