Rachel Reeves investigated by watchdog over a ‘freebie’
- Rachel Reeves is being investigated by Parliament's standards commissioner for a possible breach of the code of conduct.
- The investigation, launched just before local elections, concerns the late declaration of free theatre tickets received by Reeves.
- Reeves previously faced criticism for accepting free concert tickets and clothes, prompting her to pledge to refuse such gifts in the future.
- This incident follows similar controversies involving Labour leader Keir Starmer's declaration of gifts and clothing.
- The commissioner's inquiry falls under the code of conduct section regarding the timely registration of financial interests.
