00:00The Prime Minister has told Rachel Reeves she faces no further action over her failure to obtain a rental licence for her South London family home.
00:14And Harvey Wheeler, the estate agent in Dulwich used by Miss Reeves, has taken the blame for failing to obtain such a licence.
00:26Miss Reeves previously admitted to mistakenly breaching local council housing rules by failing to secure a selective rental licence for the property.
00:38She published emails on Thursday between her husband and the agency showing that Harvey Wheeler had agreed to apply for the licence,
00:49while telling the Prime Minister she took full responsibility for the matter.
00:56Sir Keir had accepted Miss Reeves' initial explanation and apology on Wednesday,
01:03when she told him that regrettably she and her family were not aware a licence was needed in their area of Southwark,
01:13where they rented out their home for £3,200 a month.
01:19The release of the email exchange on Thursday showing her husband had been informed reopened this particular row.
01:27Now, the Tories said the correspondence indicated Miss Reeves knew of a light need for the licence,
01:34contradicting her earlier claim that she was unaware of the requirement.
