NEW: Jeremy Hunt has admitted to breaking the law just five hours after claiming he had never done so

He says tonight that he 'accepts responsibility' for 'mistakes' breaching his own government's anti-money laundering laws in a 'genuine oversight'

Hunt said earlier 'I’m racking my brain but the answer is no' when asked about breaking the law

But last year he failed to declare his interest in a property firm to Companies House, a criminal offence punishable by a fine or up to two years in prison

Failure to provide accurate information to the Persons With Significant Control register is a criminal offence (per great @AVMikhailova
scoop last year)

His spox tonight says his accountant made the error but Hunt takes responsibility

@AVMikhailova "Have you ever broken the law?"

"No"

*five hours later*

"Oh apart from last year when I breached anti-money laundering laws brought in while I was in the cabinet..."
