Sir Keir Starmer will no longer accept donations in the future to pay for clothes, Sky News understands.
Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner also announced they would take the same approach moving forward.
The decision by the prime minister, chancellor and deputy prime minister follows scrutiny of Sir Keir Starmer and his wife for accepting donations.
The prime minister has accepted work clothing donations worth £16,200, and multiple pairs of glasses, to the value of £2,485.
Ms Rayner has accepted clothing donations too, to the value of £2,230.
The chancellor has not accepted any such donations, according to the MPs’ register of interests.
Sky News revealed the scale of Sir Keir’s donations this week as part of our Westminster Accounts investigation.
Mr Starmer was found to have declared substantially more freebies than any other MP as he received gifts, benefits, and hospitality topping £100,000 since December 2019.
Earlier today, Home Office minister Jess Phillips defended Mr Starmer saying he had “lived entirely by the rules” amid widespread backlash over his acceptance of lavish gifts and football tickets.
She told Times Radio: “The Prime Minister has lived entirely by the rules that have governed every single member of Parliament, certainly since I’ve been there – he received gifts and things, and he declared them.”
“Let me tell you, it feels like he’s breathing down my neck to make sure that we’re doing things right in my department,” she added.
