The solicitors’ watchdog is investigating business secretary Jonathan Reynolds after he said he was a member of the profession on his CV despite having never qualified.
The cabinet minister, who entered parliament before completing his training, claimed on his old constituency website that he was a solicitor at the Manchester branch of the law firm Addleshaw Goddard before becoming an MP. And in a 2014 speech to the House of Commons he said he had “worked as a solicitor in Manchester city centre”.
