Panama Papers: David Cameron Dodges Question Over Whether His Family Benefited From Offshore Fund
David Cameron has “no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds”, following demands by Jeremy Corbyn that there be an investigation into his tax affairs.
The prime minister has been under pressure to disclose whether his family still has offshore investments or benefits from the Blairmore Holdings fund set up by his late father.
Revelations in the so-called Panama Papers included information that Ian Cameron’s Blairmore Holdings company avoided paying UK tax.
I have no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds, nothing like that.
David Cameron
Questioned on Tuesday afternoon, Cameron said he had given a “very clear description” of his finances.
However sidestepped addressing whether he benefited from his father’s offshore fun and did not mention his wider family.
“The two things I am responsible for are my own financial affairs and the tax system of the UK,” he said.
“In terms of my own financial affairs, I own no shares. I have a salary as prime minister. And I have some savings which I get some interest from. And I have a house which we used to live in, which we now let out while we are living in Downing Street. “That is all I have.”
