A senior Conservative MP is being investigated by the parliamentary commissioner for standards after The Times revealed that he had failed to declare a second job at a medical cannabis firm.
Adam Afriyie, the MP for Windsor, is under investigation after potentially breaking the rules of conduct for members of parliament. It was reported in December that Afriyie, who had lobbied parliament about medical cannabis, had failed to declare his chairmanship of a distribution company for the drug.
Elite Growth announced that Afriyie would take on the role on October 22. However, no record of his involvement with the company was disclosed on the Register of Members’ Financial Interests in four of its editions between November and December.
