This matter must start with the new policy of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunt
Affected by the epidemic and Brexit, there has been a huge gap in the British labor force, with hundreds of thousands of vacancies.
In order to alleviate this problem, the chancellor of the exchequer Hunt thought of a way to expand the scale of the "free" (that is, government-funded) child care scheme, which would liberate more parents (especially mothers) to return to the workplace. To a certain extent, the problem of labor shortage can be alleviated.
Under the policy, Hunter will provide 15 hours of support to parents of 2-year-olds from April 2024, and working parents will be eligible for 30 hours a week from September 2025 once their child is nine months old. of state-funded child care, equivalent to 38 weeks per year.
It is estimated that by 2027-2028, the measure will add 60,000 new jobs, and they will work an average of 16 hours a week, plus those who have already worked will work longer, which will have a corresponding effect.
The introduction of the new policy will inevitably increase the number of nannies, so Hunter has a policy: "A trial incentive of 600 pounds for nannies who register for this profession, and an increase to 1,200 pounds for nannies who join through institutions."
Coincidentally, the above policy was introduced in March and is going to be piloted on March 15. Sunak’s wife, Murthy, became a shareholder of a British nanny agency on March 6 this year. This agency is called Koru Kids, is one of six 'accredited' babysitting agencies listed on the UK government website.
While increasing the number of nannies entering the industry, the government's new policy is bound to create more business for companies like Koru Kids.
Originally, this is nothing, as long as Sunak declares his interests as required, but Sunak didn't mention it. Moreover, at the hearing on March 28, Sunak did not mention this matter, and even some congressmen have asked Sunak's wife's connection with relevant policies, but Sunak still did not mention this matter.
The matter was eventually brought up by the Liberal Democrats to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner, who oversees the operation of the House of Commons code of conduct and register, including investigating any breaches.
However, there is a high probability that this matter will have no effect, and it is even less likely to cause Sunak to step down
Because even if the investigation found that Sunak had indeed violated the code of conduct, Sunak would at most apologize. Anyway, there are many examples of members of the British House of Commons apologizing ten or eight times for similar things. Let us work together to formulate a measure to avoid recurrence That's it.
If Sunak commits more serious breaches, the commissioner will refer them to a committee that has the power to impose other disciplinary measures, including requiring a verbal or written apology, suspension without pay, suspension of MPs for a specified period or expulsion.
But there is a high probability that this step will not be reached. After all, the Conservative Party has changed three prime ministers, and the Conservative Party still wants to keep its face. . .
But to be honest, Sunak, the prime minister, really failed to do anything after he came to power, and he is really not as good as Truss. . .
