Rishi Sunak has described scrutiny about his wife's investments as upsetting but the Labour leader says it is in the public interest for the chancellor to give an answer.
In the Commons on Thursday, Labour's shadow cabinet office minister Fleur Anderson was ordered by the speaker to withdraw a claim that Mr Sunak was"hypocritical" because of his family's shares in the company.
Cabinet Office minister Steve Barclay said he would not"engage in a number of sweeping comments which are not about addressing the record of this government" and said Lord Geidt, the adviser on ministers' interests"addresses those issues in the usual way".
"Infosys has a small team of employees based out of Russia, that services some of our global clients, locally. We do not have any active business relationships with local Russian enterprises. "A key priority for Infosys in times of adversity, is to continue extending support to the community. The company has committed $1m towards relief efforts for the victims of war from Ukraine."
