Tulip Siddiq, the City and anti-corruption minister, has asked Laurie Magnus, the prime minister's independent adviser on ministerial standards, to investigate whether she may have broken the ministerial code.
Her request comes after it was revealed that Siddiq has lived in properties linked to her aunt Sheikh Hasina. Hasina recently resigned as Bangladesh's prime minister after a popular uprising.
Siddiq wrote to Magnus: "In recent weeks I have been the subject of media reporting, much of it inaccurate, about my financial affairs and my family's links to the former government of Bangladesh.
"I am clear that I have done nothing wrong. However, for the avoidance of doubt, I would like you to independently establish the facts about these matters."
