Sir Keir Starmer will no longer accept donations in the future to pay for clothes.
Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner also announced they would take the same approach moving forward.
The decision by the prime minister, chancellor and deputy prime minister follows scrutiny of Sir Keir and his wife for accepting donations.
The prime minister has accepted work clothing donations worth £16,200, and multiple pairs of glasses, to the value of £2,485, according to the MPs’ register of interests.
The register also shows Ms Rayner has accepted clothing donations, too, to the value of £2,230.

Sky News understands that in June, the deputy prime minister also received a donation from Lord Waheed Alli, a television executive who has donated to Labour – and Sir Keir and his wife – over the last 20 years.
That donation to Ms Rayner was worth £3,550. It was registered but its nature, now understood to be work clothing, was not published.
Since the backlash over freebies, the registrar was contacted to ensure the donation to Ms Rayner was published with all the necessary details.
It is understood Ms Reeves accepted a donation of £7,500 from donor Juliet Rosenfeld, which was used to pay for clothing, since the beginning of last year.
She declared this as a cash donation rather than as a gift – and has been assured this was within the rules, the Guardian reported.
Sky News revealed the scale of Sir Keir’s donations this week as part of our Westminster Accounts investigation.
Sir Keir was found to have received substantially more gifts and freebies than any other MP as his total in gifts, benefits, and hospitality topped £100,000 since December 2019.
This had all been declared as per the rules but backbench MPs had been expressing concern that the government’s rhetoric of tough decisions on the economy jars with the image of a prime minister accepting freebies.
The row started over the weekend with controversy over Sir Keir’s wife’s clothes.
