Following reports that she lived in properties in London linked to allies of her aunt, former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, Ms Siddiq referred herself to the independent adviser on ministerial standards, Sir Laurie Magnus, on January 6.
Bangladeshi leader Muhammad Yunus said London properties used by Ms Siddiq should be investigated and handed back to his government if they were acquired through plain robbery.
Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, accused the prime minister of appointing his personal friend as anti-corruption minister and she is accused herself of corruption and called for her to be sacked.
Sheikh Hasina, Siddiq's aunt, was the longest serving prime minister of Bangladesh. She fled the country and went into self-imposed exile earlier this year following a student-led uprising.
