Controversy over the pen used by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for official matters. Controversy was sparked when the Guardian newspaper reported that Sunak was in possession of a Japanese-made pilot fountain pen with erasable ink. Even when he was the finance minister, Sunak used such pens. The reason for the controversy is that after using such pens to write notes in the file, it is likely to be erased when the documents are transferred to the government archive.
Old files and the Prime Minister’s handwriting are often crucial in government-related investigations. That is why the pen used by Prime Ministers and Presidents is also crucial. US presidents have never used permanent ink pens.
