A Labour Member of Parliament has called on the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate whether Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, properly declared his property interests in accordance with Commons rules. Joe Powell formally requested that Daniel Greenberg examine whether Farage’s declarations complied with the requirements for registering land and property.

An investigation revealed that Farage and his partner, Laure Ferrari, hold ownership of at least five homes located across Surrey, Essex, and Kent. However, only two properties were reportedly declared in the official parliamentary register. Under the rules governing MPs’ conduct, any land or property valued over £100,000 or generating rental income exceeding £10,000 annually must be disclosed unless specific exemptions apply.

Farage has denied any wrongdoing in relation to the property disclosures. This inquiry comes amid an ongoing investigation into Farage concerning a £5 million gift he received from a cryptocurrency billionaire, which has attracted scrutiny over its source and potential implications.

The parliamentary standards commissioner’s review will assess whether Farage’s property registrations meet the established transparency standards for members of Parliament, contributing to broader concerns about compliance and accountability among elected officials. No further comments have been made by Farage or his representatives regarding the current request for investigation.
