US EditionNigel Farage Registers £380,000 in Late Payments 17 Times, Inquiry Finds
Nigel Farage failed to declare about £384,000 in financial interests 17 times due to administrative errors, the parliamentary commissioner found, triggering a formal inquiry but no sanctions.
- A formal inquiry was opened after a public complaint found Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader and Clacton MP, failed to register interests totaling 384,000 pounds within the 28-day limit.
- The commissioner concluded Farage's failures to register were inadvertent due to staffing and administrative issues, while Farage said he was "extremely let down" by a senior member of staff and cited his "very complicated and complex set of interests" from TV and business work.
- Specific late entries include £91,200 from Direct Bullion, six late payments from GB News including 51,438 logged 36 days late, and £17,173.76 from Cameo.
- Farage apologised and accepted responsibility, with Daniel Greenberg finding the breaches inadvertent and deciding not to refer the matter to the Committee on Standards, promising updates in the next register of financial interests.
- Rival parties accused the Clacton MP of 'lining his pockets', Labour Party pledged to tighten rules on MPs' second jobs, and voters in Clacton will judge Farage's record at the next election.
