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.
