Labour MP probed over lobbying claims
Another day, another sleaze scandal threatening to engulf one of Westminster’s finest. Labour frontbencher Alex Davies-Jones is being investigated over allegations she breached lobbying rules and thus the MPs’ code of conduct too. New Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg, who has been in the job a mere matter of weeks, opened an investigation into the Pontypridd MP yesterday afternoon. He will be examining whether Davies-Jones broke ‘paid advocacy’ rules, using her position in parliament to benefit a company from whom she has received payment or gifts. If the shadow culture minister is found guilty, she risks being suspended from the Commons.
