"A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal
with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences
for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.
In May, the
Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the
global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history
of the firm.
The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although
Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.
It has since come to light that the IT giant has been involved in £172 million
worth of public sector contracts in the UK, and even the most innocent
bystanders would admit that the current drive to increase oil and gas
exploration in the North Sea is more than convenient.
What’s more, it is made even more convenient by the fact that one of Infosys’
other major clients is Shell, whose CEO joined Rishi Sunak’s new business
council two weeks ago and promised a “candid collaboration” with his
government."
