Boris Johnson will not be forced to declare the cost of his Spanish holiday which was funded by the family of a Tory peer, No10 has said.
The Prime Minister used a loophole to avoid revealing the value of his sunshine getaway in October, where he stayed at a luxury hideaway owned by Tory minister Zac Goldsmith.
The private Spanish villa outside Marbella, which is set over 600 acres of woodland, boasts a helipad and two swimming pools, and reportedly costs up to £25,000 a week to rent
Mr Johnson said the trip had been "provided free of charge by the Goldsmiths" in an update to the register of minister's interests.
Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner reported the PM to the standards watchdog for his failure to declare the holiday in the Commons register, which requires the value of benefits to be listed.
But Downing Street said the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone won't ask the PM to make a separate declaration.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said: "The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has agreed with the approach taken by the Prime Minister that the substantive family holiday in Spain does not require a separate Commons registration.
"As you'll remember, the PM took advice from Lord Geidt [the Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests] and he registered it as per the rules."
It is understood that Ms Stone has written to Labour's Angela Rayner to explain the decision.
Downing Street previously said it was because Lord Goldsmith was a "family friend" - despite the fact that Mr Johnson also made him a peer and gave him a Government role less than two years ago.
MPs do not need to declare “family holidays”, or foreign trips that are “wholly unconnected parliamentary or political activities”, the Commons register states.
The Mirror previously revealed that Mr Johnson had jetted off to Spain after the Conservative Party conference last month for a holiday with his wife Carrie and their son Wilfred.
He faced criticism as pictures emerged of him painting at an easel in the sunshine as Brits were being clobbered by a cost of living crisis stoked by food and labour shortages, and rising prices.
Meanwhile, the PM declared on Thursday that he had enjoyed hospitality at Heathrow's 'secret' VIP terminal while he waited to fly out for his sunshine break.
The Commons register was updated to reveal Heathrow Airport had donated use of the Windsor Suite to the PM, at a cost of £1,600.
The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has been contacted for comment.
