Report makes ruling on former MP Owen Paterson over accusations of lobbying that broke rules

An investigation has concluded a former county MP acted as a lobbyist, despite not being registered to do so.

The report into lobbying by former North Shropshire Conservative Owen Paterson has today been published by the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists.

It concludes that eight letters to the-then Secretary of State at the Department for Health and Social Security were"registerable". The commissioner's findings, published on October 26, 2021, concluded he had broken the rules in “an egregious case of paid advocacy”.The decision set into motion a chain of events that led to the long-standing MP resigning his position.
