Sky News published this video item, entitled “BREAKING: Ex-Tory minister ‘should be suspended’ for lobbying on behalf of two companies” – below is their description.
A former Conservative minister should be suspended from the Commons for lobbying on behalf of two companies, a standards body has ruled.
Owen Paterson was found to have ‘repeatedly used his privileged position’ to benefit Randox, a clinical diagnostics company, and Lynn’s Country Foods, a meat processor and distributor.
The MP, who was environment secretary from 2012 to 2014, was a paid consultant for Randox from 2015 and for Lynn’s Country Foods from 2016.
The allegations relate to his conduct between October 2016 and February 2020.
