安吉拉·雷纳因印花税少缴辞去英国副首相职务

摘要

安吉拉·雷纳承认在购房时少缴了4万英镑印花税后,辞去了英国副首相、住房大臣及工党副领袖职务。

安吉拉·雷纳因被揭露在购房时少缴了4万英镑印花税,已辞去英国副首相、住房大臣及工党副领袖职务。

雷纳在致首相凯尔·斯塔默的信中表示:“鉴于我担任住房大臣的职位及我复杂的家庭情况,我深感遗憾未能寻求额外的专业税务建议。我对此错误承担全部责任。”

政府道德顾问劳里·马格纳斯爵士得出结论,虽然雷纳行为诚信,但她未能寻求适当的税务建议,违反了部长守则。

斯塔默首相对她的辞职表示遗憾,肯定了她的贡献,并表示她将继续是党内的重要人物。

雷纳的离职引发内阁改组,大卫·拉米被任命为副首相兼司法大臣,伊薇特·库珀出任外交大臣,沙巴娜·马哈茂德调任内政部。

此次辞职对工党来说是重大挫折,雷纳被视为党内中间派与左翼派之间的桥梁。
