Possible lobbying rules breach by Welsh Labour MP investigated

BBC

Labour Pontypridd MP Alex Davies-Jones is under investigation for a possible breach of lobbying rules.

The Commons Standards Commissioner is investigating whether she broke the MPs' code of conduct with "paid advocacy" over a trip to Japan.

MPs receiving payments or benefits such as hospitality or gifts must not use their parliamentary position to benefit the organisation who gave it to them.

Ms Davies-Jones is understood to have referred herself to investigators.

The MP, elected to Westminster in 2019 and shadow culture minister, is said to be cooperating fully with Commons Standards Commissioner Daniel Greenberg's investigation.
