I refer the Rt Hon. Member to Paragraph 1.4 of the Ministerial Code and the published Terms of Reference for the Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests.

In line with well established policy in relation to investigations under the Ministerial Code, it would not be appropriate for Ministers to comment further during an ongoing investigation. That is intended to protect the rights of all involved.
