PM allegedly given advice about inquiry into minister’s taxes when he appointed him Tory party chair

At the time of the reshuffle, Zahawi’s name had been privately linked to the role of education secretary, a post he had previously held, with some Tory insiders predicting he could return to the department, but he ended up with a less central position. Days before the Guardian’s revelations and Zahawi’s public statement admitting the error, Sunak said that he had “addressed this matter in full”.
