STRATFORD-on-Avon MP Nadhim Zahawi has unwound his business interests after being made Education Minister in the recent reshuffle.
Having pledged to give them up if made a Minister, the Iraqi-born MP resigned as a director of Zahawi & Zahawi, the firm he founded with his wife Lana in 2010.
He transferred his 50 per cent stake to her, filings on Companies House show.
Zahawi, who founded pollsters YouGov, also resigned from the board of recruiter SThree in October and has also left his £350,000-a-year part-time role at oil firm Gulf Keystone.
