Matt Finnegan, Angela Rayner's former chief adviser, has given a statement to Greater Manchester Police.
Angela Rayner was last night facing mounting pressure over her 'two homes' row after one of her former aides told police that she had not told the truth about her real 'home'.
Police announced on Friday that they are investigating claims – first published in The Mail on Sunday – that Ms Rayner breached electoral law READ MORE: Odds plunge on Angela Rayner becoming next Labour party leader after she vowed to quit if police find she broke the law over council house sale If Ms Rayner had been living in Lowndes Lane this would have rendered her Vicarage Road property liable for capital gains tax when she sold it nine years ago, making a profit of £48,500.Government guidance says that tenants can apply to buy their council home through the right-to-buy scheme if it is their 'only or main home'.
The controversy has dogged Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer since this newspaper first reported the arrangement – which was contained in a biography of Ms Rayner by Lord Ashcroft – on our front page on February 25.Labour strategists hope a police investigation will conclude that no action needs to be taken. The party is likely to then try to declare the matter closed, even though the probe will not cover Ms Rayner's alleged tax liability.
Local sources say Stockport Council's 'data retention' policy means that it doesn't hold information on issues such as the details of council-funded changes to Ms Rayner's then husband's house – a kerb was lowered in the driveway – which could have pointed to her 'real' address. One photo from the property she claims not to have lived at was even posted with the caption 'just got home'.
