British minister and Labour Party lawmaker Tulip Siddiq, also the niece of Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina, is being investigated by the United Kingdom parliament’s standards watchdog over a failure to register rental income on a London property.

Tulip Siddiq, economic secretary to the Treasury and Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate, north London, is under investigation for the late registration of interests, according to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner’s website, reported BBC on Wednesday.


A Labour Party spokesperson said: ‘Tulip will cooperate fully with the Parliamentary Commissioner on Standards on this matter.’

Siddiq is the first MP of the new parliament to be placed under investigation by the Standards Commissioner, the report mentioned.

Labour had previously told the Daily Mail that the failure to register the income was an ‘administrative oversight.’
