| Description | Chancellor Rishi Sunak held a US green card - allowing permanent residence in that country - while he was chancellor, his spokeswoman has said.
He returned it in October last year, ahead of his first American trip as a UK government minister.
The news comes as Mr Sunak faces scrutiny over the revelation that his wife is not liable for UK taxes on her overseas earnings.
He has accused his critics of running a "smear" campaign against his family.
But the Liberal Democrats are calling for Mr Sunak, who became chancellor in early 2020, to resign, with leader Sir Ed Davey saying: "Never mind a green card; it's time to give Rishi Sunak the red card." |
