Jon Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister without Portfolio, responding to reports that Amber Rudd has been linked to offshore tax firms, said:

“It’s embarrassing for Theresa May’s Tories that another senior figure has been linked to revelations about offshore tax havens. ‎

“Earlier in the year Amber Rudd was sent out to defend David Cameron amid controversy over offshore holdings. At the time she trumpeted transparency yet she made no mention of her own situation, which was surely relevant to claims amid calls for openness at the top of the Tory Party.

“People will be forgiven for wondering what the true picture is and they deserve an answer from Amber Rudd.”
