British politician Waheed Alli, central to a donation scandal involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is under investigation by the Lords Commissioner for alleged non-registration of interests.

As a member of the House of Lords, Alli must register his interests per parliamentary code. The investigation, announced on the parliament’s website on Wednesday, indicates potential breaches of the code by Alli, a significant Labour donor.

Last month, Starmer and his ministers faced criticism for accepting donations from Alli for clothing, parties, and foreign travel. The controversy prompted Starmer to reject further donations for clothing, with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves also ceasing to accept them.
