Jonathan Reynolds
The Shadow Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, who
represents Stalybridge and Hyde, has a senior policy manager from HSBC working
for him who is swanning around Westminster with a parliamentary pass and
rubbing shoulders with Labour's Shadow cabinet.
Labour have vowed to "clean up Westminster" by
banning former ministers from lobbying for five years. Despite this pledge,
Labour have come under fire for giving global banks like HSBC and NatWest,
direct access to Parliament.
The secondment isn't declared in Reynolds' register of
interest because the HSBC employee's time, is a donation in kind to the party.
Reynolds has previously given secondments to a NatWest employee and another
from a lobbying firm.
