Britain's health minister faces investigation over luxury flats purchase

Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is facing an investigation by a parliamentary watchdog over his failure to declare a property investment deal. Hunt, one of Britain's wealthiest politicians, apologized last week for failing to initially disclose his interest in a company set up to purchase luxury flats, saying it was an honest administrative mistake. A spokeswoman for the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards said on Wednesday a formal investigation has begun into why Hunt did not immediately disclose his stake in the firm on parliament's register of members interests.
