MPs' watchdog resumes Nigel Farage gifts probe

The parliamentary standards watchdog has resumed its investigation into Nigel Farage over allegations that he failed to declare gifts and donations.

The website of Parliament's standards commissioner has been updated to confirm that the probe has restarted. Earlier, the site had indicated the process was suspended from 8 July, when Farage resigned to stand for reelection in Clacton.

Background to the investigation

The investigation concerns accusations that Farage did not declare certain gifts and donations as required. The suspension was linked to his resignation from Parliament to run in the Clacton constituency.

Status of the probe

The resumption means the commissioner will continue examining the allegations. The Guardian's Peter Walker has more on the story.

Further details of the case have not been disclosed by the commissioner's office.
