FWIW I don't believe she deliberately set out to avoid tax that was payable

But her lack of diligence, especially given her role, means the right decision has been reached.

It's good to see that this issue has been dealt with fairly speedily and correctly - such a contrast to the previous Government's where situations of people breaking the ministerial code dragged on for weeks/months.
Much better leadership from Starmer..
