Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi has been “open” about his tax affairs and will remain in his role next week despite calls for him to be sacked, said foreign secretary James Cleverly.
Mr Zahawi revealed that HMRC found he had made a “careless” rather than “deliberate” error with his taxes after he reportedly paid a close to £5m – said to include a penalty of around £1m – to settle the dispute.
