London, August 9— Tulip Siddique, the Economic Secretary of the United Kingdom, has been cleared of allegations regarding the non-disclosure of rental property income in London. The Parliamentary Commissioner, Daniel Greenberg, concluded the investigation, absolving Siddique of any wrongdoing.
The investigation was initiated after a complaint was lodged on July 30, alleging that Siddique had failed to report income from a rental property. However, the Parliamentary Commission's report has confirmed that the delay in submitting the income statement was justified, and Siddique's explanation was accepted.
Greenberg stated that Siddique, who represents Hampstead as an MP, admitted to her mistake and issued an apology. He also confirmed that she assured there would be no recurrence of such an incident.
A spokesperson for the Labour Party, to which Siddique belongs, echoed this sentiment, noting that Siddique had expressed regret for the late submission, emphasizing that it was an unintentional oversight. The spokesperson added that the Parliamentary Commissioner had allowed Siddique to correct the mistake, leading to the dismissal of the inquiry.
Tulip Siddique, who is the granddaughter of Bangladesh's Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is seen as a rising political figure in Britain. In the recent election, she secured a decisive victory as a Labour Party candidate, defeating Don Williams of the Conservative Party in the Hampstead and Highgate constituency with nearly twice as many votes.
