'My mistakes are my own,' says Zahawi on tax affairs

Former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has told the BBC he paid nearly £5m to authorities to settle his tax affairs.

Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, he apologised for not being "more explicit" in his ministerial declaration on the settlement.

But he insisted HMRC had found it was a non-deliberate, "careless" mistake.

Mr Zahawi was sacked last year as Tory Party chairman after an ethics inquiry found he had failed to disclose that HMRC was investigating his taxes.
